I'm a full-stack engineer with a background in music and education. After earning a B.M. in Jazz Saxophone from Manhattan School of Music, I transitioned into software development — bringing the same discipline, creativity, and collaborative spirit that defined my years as a musician.
Over the past 5+ years, I've built production applications, mentored 500+ developers, and led engineering teams. I thrive at the intersection of building and teaching.
Building and scaling full-stack applications with NestJS + React (TypeScript). Designed JWT authentication with RBAC, integrated AI-driven features, and containerized services with Docker for CI/CD pipelines. Modeled data across SQL and NoSQL systems.
Built and maintained internal tools and dashboards (React, TypeScript, Angular) used across 10+ cohorts and 250+ users. Developed automation systems reducing manual workflows. Led and mentored a team supporting high-scale program operations while acting as technical escalation point.
Managed systems supporting 250+ concurrent users. Built data pipelines and reporting workflows using APIs and scripting tools. Delivered instruction in JavaScript, React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL.
Led a team of ~20 engineers and instructors supporting full-stack application development. Designed centralized reporting systems to track performance, retention, and engagement metrics.
Taught and authored curriculum for full-stack development (PERN stack). Mentored 500+ developers through production-grade applications and capstone projects. Delivered instruction in algorithms, data structures, and scalable architecture.
Providing strategic guidance for a nine-month coding fellowship training software engineers from underrepresented communities. Shaping curriculum and mentorship programs advocating for equity in caste, class, and gender, while supporting initiatives that remove barriers to entry.
Built and deployed a performant marketing site using Astro, React, and Tailwind. Optimized for SEO, accessibility, and Lighthouse performance.
