With a solid foundation in computer science and hands-on experience across various technical roles, I have built a diverse skill set that combines backend engineering, frontend web development, and instructional expertise. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from San Francisco State University, along with an Associate of Science in Computer Science and Mathematics from City College of San Francisco. My journey in tech began with internships and part-time roles that allowed me to contribute to real-world projects. From developing dynamic, responsive websites to optimizing backend processes for enhanced performance, each experience has strengthened my ability to solve complex problems and create efficient, user-focused solutions.Currently, I am a Software Engineer at Popper, where I focus on optimizing backend performance and developing scalable data systems. In this role, I use Node.js and Express to streamline server-side processing, achieving a 20% reduction in server response times. Additionally, I lead the development of real-time data collection systems with Firebase, which has driven a 15% increase in user engagement. My technical contributions, such as building efficient backend services, help enhance the overall user experience on our platform. This position has deepened my expertise in managing dynamic requests and crafting smooth, interactive features, making me more adaptable and efficient in my coding practices.Looking forward, I aim to continue advancing my skills in web and software development, particularly in areas like data-driven application architecture and frontend development. My goal is to take on more leadership responsibilities, where I can guide technical projects from concept to completion and mentor newer engineers in the field. I am excited to explore innovative technologies and work on high-impact projects that challenge me to grow and broaden my technical expertise. As I pursue new opportunities, I’m eager to contribute to dynamic teams that prioritize both user experience and robust engineering solutions.
