Hello, I'm Jade
Graphic Designer turned Software Engineer, I enjoy immersing in a creatively charged atmosphere, am passionate about design, and learning new technologies. Creating a thoughtful and engaging user experience that focuses on responsive design and accessibility is what drives me. As a creative problem solver with high attention to detail, I thrive on collaboration and seek opportunities to grow as a designer, engineer, and individual.
Outside of Software Engineering, I love to do
anything that engages my creativity. These
include singing/playing/listening to music of
all genres, dancing, cooking, and drawing.
Furthermore, I am obsessed with Assassin's Creed
and love everything Star Trek

CyberPunk Mud is an interactive Multi-User Dungeon (MUD) game created during the Computer Science Build Week at Bloom Tech.

The resulting build consists of 101 rooms users can explore in a retro cyberpunk-inspired game and see other users in real-time. Designated as the UI designer, I created/implemented the game aesthetic using Figma to create a mood board and wireframes.

The 'Ride for Life' project was a team collaboration consisting of 1 UX Designer and 6 other Web Developers. As part of Lambda Labs, the goal of the project was to create a two-part application for the non-profit Safe Mothers, Safe Babies in Uganda.
- Working with the non-profits’ stake-holder for 8 weeks, we increased the productivity, reliability, and usability of both parts of the application; enhancing the overall quality of the users experience.
- My primary focus, was building the database for our node backend, and integrating Frontline SMS. This text-messaging cloud service provided a reliable SMS emergency ride request system for pregnant mothers and Boda drivers in Uganda.
- We employed the use of the GeoLib library to help the application locate the nearest driver to a pregnant mother requesting a ride, and then dispatched them to said mother for emergency services.
- A React/Redux administrative dashboard was developed to allow administrative users to interact with mother/driver data collected on the ground in Uganda.
