I am a creative thinker who approaches technical challenges with an open mind and an eye for innovation. Throughout my career, I have developed a strong skill set with focus on UX, UI, and front end engineering. I have gained experience in desktop, mobile, and web application development, system architectures, wire framing, prototype generation, and user-centered application design. I have built, mentored, and managed front end teams primarily in the FinTech space, and have continued cultivating a balance of engineering and creativity in and out of the workplace.

Creativity Outside of the Technical Box...

In addition to my professional pursuits, I am passionate about exploring creative outlets outside of the technical world. I have a strong interest in the visual arts, and have worked in a variety of mediums including painting, drawing, and digital art. Additionally I have been engaged in the performing arts community. I enjoy writing, and have experience creating content for a range of platforms and audiences. Through these pursuits, I have developed strong skills in communication and collaboration, which I bring to all aspects of my work.

Education and Certifications

I hold a degree in Computer and Electrical Engineering from Purdue University in West Lafayette, where I focused on areas such as digital logic, software development, operating systems and compilers, and the basics of electrical engineering. In addition, I have completed a number of courses in areas such as Graphic Design, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe PhotoShop and Adobe InDesign at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Loyola University in Chicago.
