ABOUT ME

I’m a software engineer with a background in front-end development, web design, and marketing operations. At GoDaddy, I work on the front of site experience at GoDaddy.com, helping build, test, and maintain high-traffic pages that serve over 20 million customers across 42 markets and 17 languages.

While working full-time, I earned a degree in Software Engineering and built full-stack applications like CollaborTrak, a ticket-tracking platform built with React, Spring Boot, and MySQL.

Before tech, I came from an award-winning art and design background, but I’m not just about making things look good. I focus on building clean, performant user interfaces that drive conversion, support marketing goals, and scale reliably. I care about the full front-end experience: usability, accessibility, responsiveness, optimization, and collaboration across teams.

MY APPROACH TO ENGINEERING CHALLENGES

I thrive in complex environments where adaptability, clarity, and practical problem-solving are essential. At GoDaddy, I’ve worked across large-scale front-end systems powered by tools and technologies like Sitecore, Contentful CMS, Storybook and Figma.

Whether debugging production issues, testing experimental components and features, creating documentation, or optimizing marketing operations workflows, I focus on delivering solutions that are technically sound and user-aligned. My ability to learn quickly, ask thoughtful questions, and adapt to evolving toolchains has helped me contribute meaningfully in a fast-paced, high-impact environment.

DEVELOPER SKILLS AND TECHNOLOGIES

With a background in design, I bring an eye for usability that supports clean, user-focused development. I work across the full stack, building components, integrating CMS platforms, and developing APIs.

03

Front End Development

I'm passionate about creating engaging and intuitive user interfaces. I'm proficient in modern front-end frameworks and libraries including React JS, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, and CSS3. I'm experienced in building responsive layouts, ensuring cross-browser compatibility, and optimizing for performance to deliver exceptional user experiences.

Bridging Design & Code for Seamless Experiences

I possess a keen eye for design principles and a strong understanding of UI/UX best practices. Able to translate design mockups (Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD) into functional and aesthetically pleasing web applications. I have experience collaborating with designers to ensure design integrity and user-centered solutions.

Solid Foundation in Server-Side & Data Management

I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering with experience in developing server-side applications using Java Spring Framework. I understand RESTful APIs and have worked with relational databases and SQL. I'm capable of integrating front-end applications with back-end services and managing data effectively.

Collaboration & Communication

Currently I'm working in a Front of Site Marketing Operations team at GoDaddy, demonstrating strong collaboration and communication skills in a fast-paced environment. I have experience in working cross-functionally with marketing, design, and development teams to execute online strategies. I possess an understanding of web operations and the importance of efficient workflows.

MY RESUME

With an award winning graphic design background, I am used to completing a project to exact specifications within a short deadline. Combine this with an array of web development knowledge in many front-end and back-end languages, responsive frameworks, databases, and best code practices means I can meet any web development demands.
