Every role shaped how I build.

I joined Open Learning part-time to work on accessible course technology, and the arc of this role says more than any bullet list could: I was promoted to co-op based on performance, retained through a departmental restructuring, and re-engaged part-time after the co-op term ended.

The work itself is digital equity engineering. I build accessible HTML/CSS templates for Pressbooks, H5P Studio, and WordPress-based open courses that support 1,000+ students across Business, Health Sciences, and Community Services, courses students use at zero cost.

I've designed and published 5+ open textbooks and interactive H5P learning objects, and the interactive activity integration raised student engagement by 20%. Along the way I automated repetitive workflows with Power Automate, ran WCAG accessibility testing, and contributed back to the H5P and Pressbooks open-source communities.

• Promoted part-time → co-op; retained through restructuring
• 1,000+ students supported across three program areas
• 20% engagement increase from interactive content

Olive Branch is a mentorship non-profit, and I volunteer as the engineer who keeps their platform moving. I design and ship features in React and Node.js, diagnose issues across the front and back end, and test across devices so the platform works for everyone who depends on it.

The most consequential work has been integration: I've wired in 5+ third-party APIs and restructured how the backend synchronizes data, which measurably cut user-facing response times. I also contribute to their mobile application, core UI/UX features and multi-device compatibility testing.

Volunteering here taught me a kind of engineering discipline that paid work sometimes doesn't: when there's no budget and no team of specialists, you own the whole problem.

• 5+ third-party API integrations
• Reduced user-facing response times
• Full-stack + mobile ownership as sole volunteer engineer

Not a software role, and I keep it here on purpose. Three years of freight operations while studying full-time is where my work ethic lives. I became a certified in-store Machine Trainer, trained 10+ associates on forklifts and reach trucks with a 100% safety record, and boosted order processing efficiency by 20% by optimizing inventory workflows.

It taught me how real operations behave under pressure, a perspective I bring to every system I design.

• Certified Machine Trainer, 100% safety record
• 20% order-processing efficiency improvement
