Embarking on my journey as a web developer in July 2020, I have had the privilege of transforming my passion for programming into a profoundly fulfilling and dynamic professional experience. Armed with a bachelor's degree in Computer Information Systems, specializing in web development, I take immense pride in the path I've carved thus far. Notably, my dedication to programming and continuous growth led to the honor of being selected as the class valedictorian.
Complementing my formal education, I actively pursued diverse tech certifications and embraced the exhilarating challenge of a 10-week full-stack web development bootcamp. Adding a layer of depth to my journey, I bring over a decade of experience as a project manager. This role has finely honed crucial skills like problem-solving, teamwork, and meeting deadlines, even in challenging circumstances. Addressing logistical hurdles and finding practical solutions has been a theme throughout my professional tenure.
Integrating my well-honed problem-solving skills into the tech realm, I've successfully brought meaningful projects to fruition using cutting-edge technologies. Notably, I played a pivotal role as a front-end engineer at Snap Inc., contributing significantly to the integration of the Shopping Suite SDK into various merchant websites. This initiative aimed to unite Snap's AR and AI technology, address critical challenges within the retail industry, and transform the shopping experience for consumers.
During my two-year tenure in this position, I constructed, tested, and maintained a demo website that effectively showcased the SDK's diverse features, including Fit Finder, clothing try-on, eyewear try-on, and a 3D viewer. The goal was to provide a comprehensive and engaging demonstration of the SDK's capabilities to potential clients and stakeholders.
Believing in lifelong learning, I am pursuing a Master's in Software Development as a part-time student at the esteemed University of Boston. Beyond the tech realm, I find joy in giving back to the community through active involvement with my church. This engagement is a source of relaxation and allows me to contribute positively to the world around me.
