2020I’ve built experience across customer service, security, mentorship, and engineering—each role strengthening my communication, technical mindset, and ability to support teams in fast-paced environments.
Redmond, WA | Aug 2025 — Present
In my role as a Quality Assurance Intern, I support the reliability and release quality of Surface devices by driving a structured and efficient bug‑triage process. I’ve implemented improvements in Azure DevOps that enhance tracking, reporting, and resolution accuracy, helping teams identify issues faster and reduce critical resolution time by 25%. I facilitate triage discussions across engineering groups, ensuring clear communication and alignment between hardware and software teams.
My work also contributes directly to higher‑quality hardware releases through cross‑functional collaboration and consistent validation of issues throughout the development cycle.
Alongside my work at Microsoft, I stay connected to the broader tech community through mentorship.
Remote | Oct 2025 — Present
As a volunteer coding mentor, I help students build confidence in programming fundamentals and complete real projects. I provide one‑on‑one guidance in JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and problem‑solving, supporting learners at different stages of their journey.
Beyond teaching, I collaborate with the Mentors Without Borders community to share resources and best practices, contributing to a global effort to expand access to technical education.
Before stepping into engineering and mentorship, I spent several years in roles that strengthened my communication, situational awareness, and problem‑solving under pressure.
Seattle, WA | Jun 2018 — Jun 2025
During my years in security, I developed strong communication, situational awareness, and problem‑solving skills under pressure. I responded to hundreds of incidents annually, operated surveillance systems to maintain safety, and provided clear guidance during emergencies.
I also documented incidents and worked with teams to improve response processes, reducing repeat issues and strengthening overall operational continuity.
Even earlier in my career, I built a foundation in customer service and teamwork that continues to influence how I collaborate today.
Tukwila, WA | Sept 2016 — Aug 2019
In this customer‑facing role, I supported over 350 weekly visitors by delivering clear communication, product knowledge, and reliable service. I assisted with transactions, maintained inventory accuracy, and collaborated with teammates to improve store efficiency.
This experience strengthened my customer service foundation and taught me the value of patience, clarity, and teamwork.
