I'm an audio engineer turned software developer with a passion for delivering polished, easy-to-use products with a focus on putting people first. Everything we make is ultimately for another person to use, be it through a consumer product, an internal staff product, or even other people working on the codebase, so I feel like it's important to make something that everyone can enjoy working with.

I like doing full-stacks because I get to learn about all of the steps of the process and I especially enjoy frontend work. My favorite framework is React. :)

I got into engineering because of my love of solving mysteries and logic puzzles. I switched to software engineering because it’s more fun to me than audio/electrical engineering and coding allows me more freedom to come up with interesting solutions.

In my free time, I love to explore different worlds, whether that means playing a video/board game or going on a road trip with friends. I'm always up for a new adventure!

## Work Experience

### Full Stack Software Engineer @ SiFive
Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | San Francisco Bay Area
- Implemented 9 new cores for the SiFive Core Designer web application using JavaScript via React to create the frontend components and Django for the REST API.  This more than doubled the available products, brought in thousands of new potential customers, and reduced staff engineering time by automating what would normally be several days of manual work to create each product.
- Collaborated with staff users to design and implement tools that allowed them to interact with customers directly. Trained and provided clear documentation so they could be self-sufficient with the tools, reducing the amount of developer time needed for staff requests and allowing 200+ staff product deliveries to customers. 
- Prevented several site-breaking bugs from being pushed to the web app by doing thorough testing during code reviews. Implemented required testing plans for code reviews and converted the codebase to TypeScript to reduce the number of run-time errors. 
- Fostered a sense of community in the workplace by organizing monthly office game nights, including running gaming tournaments with 10-20 participants, many who were encouraged to play for the first time

### Associate System Engineer @ Panasonic Automotive Systems

- Designed Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)  tunings for over 10 vehicle launches for multiple major car companies by taking acoustic measurements, analyzing data, and testing on-site with the client.
- Fixed a potential ANC instability by coming up with a revised tuning and implementing it into 300+ vehicles just before public launch.
- Created a plan to prevent future tunings from having instabilities by performing more QA tests on the ANC systems and taking measurements on 100+ client vehicles before product release.
- Reduced factory engineer man hours 50% by creating an excel spreadsheet designed for inputting and calculating testing measurements.

### Assistant Audio Engineer @ RingSide Creative
