Birds in the Neighborhood
Birds in the Neighborhood is an eBird client for exploring recent bird observations within the United States. Built using the eBird API 2.0 and Vite, React, Typescript, and the Google Maps API, it lists birds recently seen by date, name, or location.
Design
Before switching to engineering, I earned an MFA in Visual Communication Design from the University of Washington, then spent more than a decade designing software products for companies such as MongoDB, Etsy, Google, and Intuit.

MongoDB
At MongoDB, I worked on tools for the highly technical product support team, as well as Atlas (a fully-managed cloud database) and the first, experimental version of Atlas Data Lake (an “analytic-optimized object storage service for extracted data”).
-
Etsy
At Etsy, I worked on internal tools, including one for A/B testing marketing emails, and another for reviewing and finding previously reviewed shops in an easier and more efficient manner.

Google
At Google, I was a contractor on the Identity team, where I worked on the account sign up and sign in flows, and on tools that let you manage your identity across Google products.
