I am a full-stack web developer. I am drawn to the immediate visual impact of my work on a website and connecting the front-end experience with the power of the backend. I like to bring my ideas to life and create dynamic, user-friendly experiences. Seeing the changes I make reflected on a website is both satisfying and addictive, and I am excited to continue learning and growing.
I like to make projects that are personal to me so I feel more engaged with my learning. Here are some of the ones I have worked on recently!

Over the last three months, I've been the sole developer working on multiple initiatives, from enhancing documentation accessibility with a Markdown-based site to refining search functionalities using MongoDB aggregation pipelines. I also tested and implemented accessibility features, introduced a Dark Mode option for our UI, and designed a feed for grant updates. Additionally, I rewrote significant portions of the codebase for clarity and contributed to a bespoke LLM by building a versatile web scraper and improving its chat interface. Lastly, I enhanced an AI-driven news generator for grant announcements.
