My Journey

A developer thrives to learn and grow continuously.


Beyond: Full-Stack

Being a versatile problem solver.

  • Full-Stack Web Development Certificate,
    UC Berkeley Extension

    It was a valuable learning experience to update my skills with the latest web development technologies: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap, Express.js, React.js, Node.js, Firebase, MongoDB, MySQL, Command Line, Git, basic algorithms, and more.

    During that time, taking a career break allowed me to recharge myself, engage in various online tutorials, follow leading software developers, attend tech events, read books to enhance my abilities and become a better developer.

    It was a privilege to work with cutting-edge technologies at top tech companies and fast-paced startups, where contributing to special projects and serving as the first developer on a team further strengthened my expertise. Developing efficient coding strategies and templating methodologies that significantly improved marketing operations was a rewarding experience. Throughout my career, I’ve built a large volume of email templates and gained hands-on experience with various CMS/ESP platforms, including Adobe Campaign, AEM, Marketo, Responsys, and others, enabling the delivery of streamlined solutions for complex marketing needs.

2013: Technical Web Production

Getting into processes and systems.

  • Web Production Specialist

    At Dun & Bradstreet, the hands-on experience with enterprise-level CMS platforms like Adobe CQ5, managing digital assets, and conducting QA taught me how to approach problems systematically.

  • Web Production Artist

    At LeapFrog, gaining deeper insight through agile collaborations has helped me understand how design and development are closely integrated within the production workflow.

2006 - 2012: Hybrid

Being technical and creative.

  • Student, Bachelor of Science in
    Visual Communication Design

    At San Francisco State University, my studies focused on digital media and interaction in design.

  • Webmaster & Web Coordniator

    Clients: Esperto and People-On-The-Go. Supporting technical operations taught me valuable insights into the administrative side of web businesses.

  • Student, Associate of Science in
    Computer Studies

    At the Napa Valley College and City College of San Francisco, taking these hands-on classes to build my career foundation has opened many doors, including subjects such as Multimedia, Graphic Production, Web Development, Networking, Computer Science Fundamentals, and more.

  • Web Design & Development Apprentice

    It was a cute memory to learn basic HTML & CSS from a senior Web Designer and helped her maintaining the code for her 6 major clients at her house with her lovely dogs!

Fun Facts: My first encounter with coding was in junior high, when a classmate and I played around with an audio programming language called ABC on a DOS machine. At the age of 17, I began sharing my songs online for fun by creating my first webpage using HTML and the FrontPage WYSIWYG editor, uploading it via FTP. I never imagined any of that would lead me to a job. But let's put it this way: I chose tech because I'm allergic to people – and it turned out to be my way of serving them. ;-) !
