About Me

Hi! I'm a software engineer based in Seattle with a background in business and marketing — a blend that shapes how I approach building products: with intention, empathy, and a strong focus on the user.

I first discovered my interest in coding while working in sales. I found myself increasingly curious about the tools we were using and started learning to code in my free time. That curiosity quickly turned into a full career pivot.

I started my engineering journey on the Growth team at DroneDeploy, building features that support user onboarding, engagement, and retention. In 2023, I joined the Walkthroughs team to support the integration of StructureSite after the acquisition, contributing to in-app unification work like overlay alignment and sidebar redesign. Now back on Growth, I bring a broader product perspective — combining my experience across teams with a mindset rooted in problem-solving and thoughtful UX.

As a first-generation Asian-American woman in tech, I care deeply about representation, lifelong learning, and building work that feels as intentional as it is impactful. I’m always seeking ways to grow — as an engineer, as a teammate, and as a creative thinker.
