I have 5 years of full-time software development experience on a massive scale. I'm looking for a user-centered front-end heavy position as a designer and/or developer (yes, I can do both!). Besides tech, I'm passionate about education and urban farming. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer II @ Microsoft Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 At Microsoft Intune, I built UI components in React.js on Azure DevOps for an IT administration platform with millions of users globally.
