💃 About Me
I’m a full-stack software engineer, specializing in the frontend, but comfortable around the backend.
In the past, I’ve been a science teacher at the high school I graduated from (working with my previous teachers!), a graphic designer on a video game based on Filipino history and culture, and a web developer for a research group at the only National Cancer Institute-designated center in Hawai‘i and the Pacific.
In free time, I enjoy playing video games, crocheting, and tending to plants (house plants and gardening!).

👩💻 Software Engineer
I taught myself full-stack web development during the COVID-19 pandemic, and now I’m a Fullstack Software Engineer at Nom Nom. Most recent projects include:
- Marketing Site Overhaul & Redesign: Led the migration from Jinja templates to React and TypeScript to align the website with a premium brand identity and improve conversion rates.
- Account Redesign: Rebuilt the post-signup account experience with Tailwind CSS and TypeScript based on user research to enhance usability and maintain a premium customer experience.
Due to my frontend expertise and significant contributions to the signup funnel, my last manager referred to me as “one of our resident experts on all things customer-facing and a certified Funnel Guru!”

🌐 Web Designer & Developer
I’ve been coding in HTML, CSS, and Vanilla JS since the MySpace/early Tumblr days—that’s showing my age, but that’s 10+ years of experience! 🤠 If you’re a small business owner who needs someone more technical to build and maintain your website, look no further!

🧶 Crocheter
Nice work finding this website! I’ve been crocheting since January 2023, when I tried my hand at an extra Woobles kit and have been hooked ever since. I even decided to freehand crochet my wedding dress!
