ABOUT ME
I’ve spent the last year working in an agile software development lifecycle integrated with design practices inspired by Google's Product Design Sprints principles. I look forward to bringing my experience of working daily with a full dev team, PO's, PM's, and stakeholders to my next job. I am excited to continue implementing systems that are re-usable, have purpose, function, aesthetic, and solve problems into software experiences.
