I’m a design engineer with a focus in building UI for web
applications. Over my career I’ve worked with different
companies to create design systems for engineering teams. I bridge the
gap between design and engineering to ensure best-in-class user
experience and front-end infrastructure.
I’m currently employed by Modern Treasury as part of the design
team. Modern Treasury is a company transforming how teams move and
track money to support impactful businesses rooted in trust and
transparency. I am based out of Philadelphia, PA.
