Hi there -- I'm ✨ Mai! 🧚‍♀️✨

💖 I'm a Full-Stack Developer with a background in higher education and the non-profit sector, where I worked closely with people with disabilities. Currently, I’m collaborating with two different engineering teams, which has strengthened my ability to communicate effectively, adapt quickly, and contribute as a reliable team player. I’m passionate about designing efficient APIs and building accessible, user-centered applications.

About Me

  • 🎓 Transitioned from higher education/nonprofit sector, with a focus on disability advocacy.
  • 💬 Ask me about JavaScript, React, Svelte, Node.js, and accessibility in tech.
  • 🌍 Based in Brooklyn but from New Orleans -- the heart of bounce music and genuine connections.
  • 💡 One of my special interests is psychology and understanding human relationships.
  • 🎧 Lover of sad-girl indie/alternative music as well as some light post-punk tunes and anything that feels like the soundtrack from a coming-of-age film.

Fun Fact

  • Did you know that one of my hobbies is ceramics? I'm particularly interested in hand-building and recreating objects I've lost throughout my life. One day, I plan to showcase pieces inspired by the items I lost during Hurricane Katrina when I was nine.
