At Mean Genius, I leveraged my data engineering knowledge to model a city healthcare web application's framework. I designed how data flows through the system, ensuring the feasibility of the design within the constraints of the legacy database. This role demonstrated my ability to use technology as a strategic asset—creating scalable, user-centered solutions that align design, development, and data to meet product needs and optimize system performance.

At an innovative startup shaping the future of street art, I worked as a UX designer, engaging stakeholders beyond just developers. I explored how different technologies could shape features, assessed feasibility, and anticipated implementation challenges. This role deepened my ability to think strategically about design execution, bridging the gap between the vision and technical reality.

Building on my leadership success, I earned a fellowship with the national organization, guiding collegiate studios across the country. I helped other universities revitalize their programs by implementing the proven strategies that fueled our success at NYU, scaling impact beyond a single campus.

While earning my Master’s in Computer Science at NYU, I joined a social impact design studio called Design for America (DFA) and quickly rose through the ranks. When the studio was on the verge of going dormant, I took the lead, revitalizing it into a thriving team of 50. Under my leadership, we ran multiple projects, leveraging design thinking to drive meaningful change.

I started as a front-end developer at a healthcare company, where I found myself naturally drawn to UX challenges. As I collaborated closely with designers, I transitioned into a UX role, using my technical expertise to bridge the gap between design and development. My ability to facilitate cross-functional collaboration became a key asset, driving seamless integration between teams. Owning this intersection, I honed my skills on the job, deepening my UX expertise through hands-on experience and formal training.

I began my career as a software developer at Nissan Digital (The digital function of nissan motor corporation). While working as a front-end development, I found myself naturally drawn to roles that blended creativity with technical skills. I closely collaborated with the design team, where it quickly became clear to me that my passion extended beyond development. This realization set the course for my journey into the design space, where I could merge my technical skills with my creative inclinations.
