iOS Development & Software Engineering

I’m an iOS Developer at Northwestern Medicine, building and maintaining the MyNM mobile app used by millions of patients across the Northwestern healthcare system.

My work focuses on building scalable mobile features using Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, and modern iOS architecture. I’ve led major product upgrades, improved accessibility across the app, and shipped large production features within Agile teams.

I also enjoy building personal apps and experimenting with new frameworks, from early student projects like Organized College Planner (Congressional App Challenge Winner) to modern SwiftUI applications.

Digital Marketing

Since my Freshman year of college, I discovered that I had a talent when it came to social media marketing. I joined a small team and helped to create Birds Aren't Real. You may know it as the conspiracy theory that all birds are government drones, I know it as a funny meme that is the marketing front for our clothing line. I also ran DePaul Barstool for the majority of my time in college. After accumulating millions of likes and tens of thousands of followers on these accounts, I took to running social for high profile clients as a way of making money on the side. I now run social media for public speaker, Laura Schwartz as well as a Chicago-based PR company called TMI.

Graphic Design

When I was a senior in high school, I took Graphic Arts as an elective. While I never had an interest in art before, I immediately fell in love. I proceeded to work tirelessly to perfect every project I turned in. I'd also make sure to finish projects far ahead of schedule to make time for artpieces I wanted to create just for myself. Since all of the art I created was centered around my love for rap artists, I created an Instagram account where I could post my content.
