Portfolio (is it?)

From tinkering with app designs at hackathons to grappling with systems that seemed to have a mind of their own, I've worn many hats in the world of product development. Think less lone ranger, more eager learner with a knack for creative problem-solving. I've had my fair share of "aha!" moments, balanced by plenty of "oops" and "what was I thinking?" Along the way, I've collected a colorful array of experiences that have shaped my approach to building products. Here's a peek at some of the more memorable adventures—mistakes, surprises, and all:

E-School

Design & Development

With E-School, it's like throwing a school reunion for stakeholders – teachers, students, parents, and even that grumpy janitor who secretly runs the school's underground candy trade. That's right, we're digitizing everything from attendance to algebra, because who needs pencils when you can have pixels?

Side Projects

If the work I do for money is my bread and butter, my side projects are the jam on top. I routinely embark on new side projects to explore coding opportunities and design styles outside of my employment.
