Software Engineer& UI/UX Designer

I design and build digital products that are easy to use, easy to trust, and actually useful.

I am a software engineer and UI/UX designer who likes turning messy product problems into clean interfaces. I work across frontend, web, mobile flows, and AI-assisted prototyping, with a bias toward clarity over decoration.

Whether I am redesigning an app, building a JavaScript tool, or shaping a multi-page experience, I focus on hierarchy, interaction, and the next action a person should take. I care that the thing works, that it feels obvious, and that the visual system supports the product instead of competing with it.

Capabilities

Software work with UI/UX instincts already built in.

Frontend and Web Development

Responsive interfaces, JavaScript tools, and web products built around hierarchy, interaction, and what the user needs to do next.

UI/UX and Product Design

Interface work shaped by customer feedback, usability insights, survey data, and iterative decisions that make a product easier to use.

AI-Assisted Engineering

Practical use of AI tools for prototyping, workflow automation, product thinking, and moving from idea to shipped result faster.

Visual Systems for Products

Layout, photography, and campaign assets used to support a product story, not to replace the interface work underneath it.

Design, video, and campaigns

Creative production that supports the product work.

Reel Style Content Creation

Created TikTok and Instagram Reel-style content to engage younger audiences through fast-paced, high-energy videos built for retention and interaction.

Designs and Video Ads

Translated scripts into Spanish, edited clips from multiple sources, and designed complementary post ads to support outreach and engagement.

More Designs and Videos

Developed targeted post and video ads for Spanish-speaking audiences, using clear messaging and thoughtful visuals to foster connection.

Secular Advertising Campaigns

Strategized, planned, and executed two advertising campaigns, managing creative direction so each piece aligned with audience preferences and marketing objectives.

Campaign Styled Shoots

Captured film photography with a vintage aesthetic for branding and marketing, focusing on composition, lighting, texture, and emotional connection.

Long Form Content

Coordinated footage from more than 200 missionaries and edited a cohesive long-form video presented as a Christmas gift to mission leaders.

How I work

Clear, efficient, and comfortable using the right tools.

I work quickly, use AI thoughtfully, and stay focused on what makes the next action obvious for the person using the product.

01

Clarity first

The best work makes the next action obvious, whether that is clicking a button, understanding a dashboard, or trusting the layout in front of you.

02

Interface and code together

I move between layout, interaction, copy, and implementation, which keeps ideas from getting lost between a mockup and a shipped screen.

03

Practical tool leverage

I know how to use modern tools to move faster without letting the tools make the important judgment calls.
