Most recently, in fall of 2023 I spearheaded a volunteer project to help tech bootcamp graduates improve on engineering and team skills and concept comprehension over the course of a month. Worked via one on ones and via group activities both asynchronously and synchronously. I taught and/or guided them through: ► Git: git etiquette/hygiene, git merges ► Appropriate pull request creation and review ► Call, read documentation for, and maintain APIs ► Work with cross-functional teams ► Transform app requirements into an ERD for a relational database ► Write and use bash functions and aliasesI also created a Kanban board of contextualized tickets with minimal task dependencies to enable independent and asynchronous work across time zones and flexible schedules. The app we made allows users to create and save tours of cities using the Google Maps API.Beyond that project, I mentor students as they consider coding bootcamps, attend them, graduate from them, and enter their first jobs in the industry. This has included participating in formal and informal panels, offering resume feedback, lending insight into the industry, emotional support, critiquing pitches, pair programming, mock interviews, scholarship research, and project-based technical mentorship. I'm passionate about wealth equity, building resources with underrepresented and underserved communities, and a minimum livable wage, and I see tech as a viable partial means to those ends.I have worked informally and formally with students and recent graduates from the University of Texas, the University of California, my alma mater bootcamp Tech Elevator, and Google's Grace Hopper Institute. I've helped around 20 early-career movers since 2018. This doesn't include some very lovely people I've gotten to help within my employers' companies, like Terrence Bell. (Scroll down to the bottom of my LinkedIn to see his recommendation letter! He's so sweet.)

Full-stack developer on a fully remote product team that built and maintained a virtual platform for medical research via life science advisory boards and collaboratives. We worked on our large, finely aged codebase very independently with a heavy research emphasis for one year and moved into Agile teams the next.Took great pleasure in creating tooling to minimize friction and improve UX for internal users. I love to help people and make their lives more pleasant. ► Communicated needs to management, held them accountable, and appreciated incoming feedback and accountability in turn ► Participated in Agile rituals using Jira and Confluence in a cross-functional team (a designer, a product owner, one or two quality assurance analysts, two or three other engineers, and an engineering tech lead). These included preparing and estimating upcoming business-defined tickets, daily status check-in, and retrospectives every two weeks to review what worked or didn't in our process and team well-being. ► Contributed to documentation on code functionality and technical decisions, including extensive technical research in advance of implementing a new feature ► Provided timely PR and tech research feedback to teammates, including on topics such as avoiding scope creep and following appropriate design patterns ► Used tickets and PR feedback as a jumping point for deeper learning and the chance to hear diverse perspectives ► Provide adequate handoff information for manual quality assurance, such as "this code is also used in X unexpected place in the site" and "watch out for this kind of a mishap based on the logic of the code". Collaborated with them as needed to ensure they had all the resources and data they needed and the opportunity to ask me questions ► Wrote unit tests and took on occasional miscellaneous production bug tickets

Short term, part time contractor role at a small remote-first SAS organization. The app we developed allows real estate professionals and local municipal government workers to record zoning and neighborhood boundaries to display properties to the public and property developers.Collaborated on a three-person team to migrate geolocation mapping features from using vanilla JS Riot tags to using Vue.js components.Some of the features I reworked and business impacts I made were: ► Administrative users can draw custom areas on a map provided by the Google Maps API ► Color coded and persisted these boundaries for all users ► Displayed legends and labels for those boundaries in administrative and non-administrative views ► Worked with polymorphic classifications of individual businesses and property types to filter results by category and inclusion within certain controllable boundaries via toggling visibility ► Implemented the desired pre-designed paper print view of all content for a given property
