about
biochemistry, physics (m. art history) student at
utsa. previously independent creative technologist. currently helping out
with 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.
skills
nmr, hplc, xrd, ir, dft, protein purification, enzyme assays, western blot, sds-page, age, sec, pcr,
cell culture. experienced in writing performant internal tooling to handle complex computational
workflows in chemistry and biochemistry applications.
goals
i plan to pursue an md-phd in computational and structural biochemistry. my goal is to bridge
protein dynamics research with translational medicine, especially in trauma care, where biochemical
insight can sharpen rapid clinical decision-making.
