About Me
Pronounced 'jay-lee-uh'
My titles are:
UX Engineer
UI Engineer
Design Engineer
Design Technologist
Human Factors Engineer
I have 5 years of UX experience and a MS in Human Centered Design & Engineering from the University of Washington.
I'm originally from Northern Virginia. I'm currently living in the SF Bay Area but I'm open to moving for the right role.
I like building things with my hands, both useful and useless.
Over the last couple of years, I've 3D printed my dog's Kong freezer stand, forged a ring out of silver clay using a blowtorch, welded sheet metal rose petals, and sculpted metal wings for a friend's fairy costume.
The yellow swords in the photo eventually became two longswords and a shortsword. I printed them out of PLA, ran a wooden dowel up the center, then fused and spray painted them!
I have a 2 year old Portuguese Water Dog named Molly Mayhem. She's extremely sweet and very sneaky. If you're on a video call with me, you will probably see her creeping in on the frame.
