Works
A collection of my case studies and various projects
Side Projects
I’m always willing to spend and expand my technical skillsets outside of work. My friends and I started and attempted many things. Some outright failed, some prevailed for a few years. Regardless of the outcomes, the process is what keeps us coming back to do it all over again.
Salt Inc (2020-2024)
Salt was a SaaS startup that my friends and I started, that provided a delivery service aggregator for restaurants.
It was a super fun but difficult project, as I was the only team member with a design background. This product serviced on mobile tablet, desktop, and mobile apps for 2 different types of users: restaurant personnel and restaurant-goers.
It was chaotic to keep track of personas: who I’m designing for, what their needs are, and their pain points of existing solutions.
It was a true learning and humbling experience for me as I had to think about multiple aspects of our product’s ecosystem, and our clients’ ever-changing needs.
At the time of shut-down, Salt was transacting over $500K in monthly sales from just 1 client.

Roots Academy (2018-2019)
Afterschool academy to teach K-8th graders Mathematics, English, and Computer Science.
I spearheaded a Python teaching course for students for a summer in 2018 for a class of 8 elementary and middle school students. Utilizing free online resources such as Google classroom and Google’s computer science teaching kits, I aimed to teach the students how fun programming can be and what they can utilize the Python language for.
I taught that whole summer, and eventually had a student end up majoring in computer science in college! (I felt old)
