about
biochemistry, physics (m. art history) student at utsa. previously independent creative technologist. currently working on biochemical and structural mechanism research, but more interested in computational physical biochemistry. some research i've been following regards predicting the kinetics of complex protein folding mechanisms by modeling the electrostatics of biomolecules. outside of that, i teach general chemistry, design learning systems to help students succeed, and run outreach experiments for the community.
past
i worked as a designer-developer on projects ranging from brands to web platforms. i built sites for individuals, startups, and nonprofits, created brand systems for events, and led design for impactful organizations across the country. at my last role, i worked on small web apps and playful launches, and also contributed to teams focused on fundraising, financial tools, and student programming. these experiences taught me how to bridge design clarity with technical execution, a perspective i still carry into everything i do.
