Seeking: Front-end focused roles in inclusive, human-centered tech environments.

Project: Offline-Capable Inventory Tracking System

• Designed a highly resilient cloud-to-local database sync for low-bandwidth environments, engineering an automated, compressed transfer pipeline via an S3-compatible architecture.
• Engineered an automated data-sync process that dynamically evaluates database schemas to process updates in strict order, minimizing data de-sync in low-bandwidth environments.
• Optimized front-end asset bundles to drastically reduce build sizes, eliminating visual stuttering and ensuring a smooth user experience when navigating feature modules.

Project: Critical Infrastructure Modernization

• Refactored the proof-of-concept infrastructure environment into a production-ready deployment within the 3-month deadline.
• Created a living document within the infrastructure codebase, ensuring client retained full ownership of the system architecture post-handover.
• Facilitated a seamless knowledge transfer with the living documentation and troubleshooting guide created to empower the client team to maintain and scale the environment independently.

• Drove the corporate adoption of TypeScript, static analysis, code linting, and unit testing across front-end layers, slashing production bug rates and accelerating long-term feature velocity.
• Spearheaded front-end build modernization, guiding an incremental migration from a legacy AMD module system to a unified ES Module and Webpack ecosystem, boosting daily developer efficiency.

• Maintained and patched a suite of internal products for NICO/BHHC enterprise ecosystems.
• Collaborated closely with QA divisions to estimate work complexities, review database scripts, and resolve reported bugs under tight tracking deadlines.

• Assisted in undergraduate research projects under Professor Myra Cohen.
• Held weekly project progress meetings.
• Continued development on audible JavaScript heuristics.
• Lead development for UNL iGEM collaboration project.

The UNL Senior Design led by Professor Myra Cohen is called "Sound of Code." It is an interactive JavaScript web application for learning and hearing JavaScript.

This application augments user JavaScript with sounds to play at runtime. This allows users to visualize and hear their programs as well as their errors.

As a development manager, I performed regular code reviews, maintained the build pipeline, and assisted teammates with new features.

• CSCE 156 - Computer Science II (Java)
• I assisted students in their coursework for assignments and weekly lab sessions.
• I held regular office hours in the Student Resource Center.
• I gave feedback to Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) based on students' comments.
