## Work Experience
### Senior Full Stack Engineer @ Kojo
Jan 2023 – Present
Warehouse Team

At Kojo, I work closely with product and design to turn requirements into high-quality features across web and mobile. I lead projects end-to-end—writing technical specs, breaking down work into Jira tickets, estimating timelines, and owning delivery by tracking progress and aligning with stakeholders to manage scope. I mentor other engineers through regular code reviews and help uphold high engineering standards across the team.

I’ve contributed across the stack—from designing database schemas and building GraphQL APIs to crafting intuitive UIs in React and React Native. Notable projects I’ve led include:

Warehouse Sublocations – Designed a performant tree structure for nested locations using string-based path indexing to work around Prisma’s lack of recursive query support.

Cycle Counting – Streamlined inventory tracking workflows.

Warehouse Prefab and Prefab Design Assemblies – Extended the warehouse domain to support prefab construction workflows.

Mobile QR Code Deep Links – Enabled seamless navigation into specific app screens via scanned labels.

Tech: TypeScript, Next.js, React, React Native, Apollo, Prisma, GraphQL, Postgres, Project Management
