Where to Watch Guide
Helping fans discover when/where to watch. Built personalized viewing, filters, date-selection, league filtering, and responsive behavior.
Case Study HighlightsI'm a software engineer with seven years of experience at ESPN and Disney, building responsive, accessible, and user-friendly digital experiences for sports fans. My background spans media, content management systems, consumer products, and high-traffic web applications. Currently open to software engineering opportunities in New York City, hybrid, or remote.
I'm a frontend-focused software engineer based in New York City with experience building digital products across sports, media, and technology. My journey began in retail, where I advanced from a part-time sales associate to store manager at LIDS Sports Group within my first year. That experience taught me how to lead a team, understand customers, manage competing priorities, and connect everyday work to measurable business results. I began college studying mechanical engineering at NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering before discovering that software development was where I could best combine creativity, problem-solving, and technology. I later studied computer science at CUNY Lehman College. My early technology experience included working at The New York Times and Gestalt Interactive. I eventually joined ESPN as an intern and grew into a Software Engineer II, contributing to products and experiences used by sports fans across ESPN's digital platforms. I enjoy transforming complex requirements into intuitive and reliable experiences while collaborating with designers, product managers, engineers, and other stakeholders. Outside of coding, I enjoy sports, salsa dancing, gaming, creative design, and bringing people together through community events.
