Experience

Where I’ve worked

  1. MatchPoint

    Software Engineer

    May 2026 – Present now

    Redesigned and extended a React Native volleyball platform (open gyms, tournaments, clinics) on Supabase and Stripe.

    • Ran user testing with friends and volleyball players, then used their feedback to prioritize what mattered most for functionality and satisfaction.
    • Refactored and redesigned the app around patterns from well-known products and current mobile design (researched on Mobbin and Dribbble), moving secondary details into tabs so main screens stay clean.
    • Built the social layer: explore users, profiles, friends, messaging, group chats, and temporary team group chats so people who sign up together play together.
    • Shipped a required participation waiver, a more detailed payment portal, reusable form components for faster event setup, and live event cards for events like tournaments.
    • Built unified purchase-history receipts across every event type, and extended the app’s request cache with the team’s always-cache / always-invalidate rule.

  2. Quest Technologies

    IT Technician

    Aug 2024 – Present

    On-site support for business clients: hardware, software, networking, and workstation issues.

    • Diagnosed and resolved issues to minimize client downtime; installed and maintained desktops, peripherals, and network devices.
    • Supported users in person through their technical problems; the job taught me to see technology from the user’s side.
  3. Tapyoca

    Frontend Developer

    Jan 2026 – May 2026

    Creator Copilot, a sponsored capstone: project budgeting, expense tracking, and financial dashboards for creators.

    • Built reusable, responsive dashboards that turn project finances into KPIs, trends, and category breakdowns.
    • Integrated frontend and backend in an Agile team, resolving production issues through Git and GitHub.

Looking for
Software engineering roles

No single lane. One goal: technology that works for the people using it.

I came to software through IT support, diagnosing workstations, networks, and business software at Quest Technologies. That’s still how I work as a developer: listen to the person, reproduce the problem, fix it properly, and write down what fixed it.

I don’t limit myself to one specialty. I’ve built mobile screens and the Postgres functions behind them, internal tools, dashboards, and payment flows. For fun, I modeled and animated characters in Blender and turned them into a playable game in Godot. I edit video, and I pick up whatever tool the next project needs. Learning new skills is the part I enjoy most.

The reason stays the same: I like helping people, whether that’s a teammate stuck on a bug, a client whose computer won’t cooperate, or a player trying to sign up for a league. Building applications is how I get to help a lot of people at once.
