Work Experience

Frontend Developer

Independent Web Projects · New York, NY

Aug 2022 - Present

Designs and builds small web products, portfolio sites, and content-driven interfaces with a practical frontend stack.

  • Built production-style React and TypeScript interfaces with reusable components, route-level data loading, responsive layouts, and accessible interaction states.
  • Structured portfolio and project content with markdown-backed records so repeated resume, project, and blog information can be maintained without editing route code.
  • Turned open-ended product ideas into working prototypes by defining user flows, writing concise page copy, and shipping focused first versions instead of overbuilding.
  • Improved front-end quality by reviewing spacing, typography, empty states, mobile behavior, and form feedback before considering a page complete.
Operations and Customer Support Assistant

Local Service and Retail Roles · New York, NY

Jun 2022 - Dec 2023

Supported day-to-day operations, customer communication, and process documentation in hands-on service environments.

  • Handled customer questions, intake details, scheduling changes, and follow-up notes with an emphasis on accuracy and calm communication.
  • Documented repeatable steps for common tasks so handoffs were clearer and small operational issues were easier to resolve.
  • Balanced competing priorities during busy periods by triaging urgent requests, escalating unclear problems, and keeping stakeholders informed.
  • Developed practical habits that translate into product work: listening for the real problem, reducing friction, and closing the loop.
Research and Project Contributor

Rutgers-New Brunswick · New Brunswick, NJ

Sep 2018 - May 2022

  • Researched open-ended topics, compared sources, and converted broad findings into clear written deliverables and presentations.
  • Coordinated group deadlines by breaking assignments into concrete tasks, tracking missing work, and helping teammates align on final submissions.
  • Practiced data interpretation, source evaluation, and audience-aware writing across coursework that required both independent analysis and peer review.
  • Built a durable working style around careful reading, concise communication, and asking better questions before committing to a solution.
