About Me
I was inspired by the movie Jurassic Park to study Robotics in college because I wanted to build large-scale robot special effects. But by the time I was set to graduate, the dinosaurs were all CGI, so I went to Film School to explore the other possibilities in the film industry. I’ve worked in audio, digital media operations, and data and content operations, always with a focus on process improvement and automation.
Reflecting on the years I've spent working to improve and automate processes, I’ve realized that the most interesting part of my job is the part where I’m working with the dev team to implement new technology. So, I'm charting my course in web development.
I enjoy manipulating data and integrating it into the UI. It's important to me to consider how to make data processing an easy, user-friendly experience.
