My mission is to design technologies that will positively impact humankind._________________________________________________________________________________________We are in the midst of the Information Revolution and I am interested in designing for the user experience in order to connect people and improve web usability across all demographics. While in school, I worked on HCI research that aimed to bridge the gap between highly educated, highly paid professionals and marginalized populations such as the uneducated, unemployed, or those with criminal backgrounds through technology. This research peaked my interest in designing technologies in order to benefit the common good.For the past 6 years, I have been a web developer at Byte Productions. I have worked on hundreds of websites across numerous industries implementing custom features and designs. I regularly integrate with APIs such as Authorize.net, PayPal, Stamps.com, etc., write importers to bring existing data in from old websites, and implement SEO. I am always looking for opportunities to further my understanding of the technology industry in the U.S as well as internationally and gain experience working with professionals who are passionate about designing technologies that will make a difference._________________________________________________________________________________________Are you looking for someone driven to help you make a positive impact through tech?
