I worked on translating animations made on the Figma canvas into code that AI agents can read.

I built core editing features like breakpoints, which let one design adapt to desktop, tablet and phone.

During my 2023 internship, I built the core implementation of multi-edit for Figma’s design editor and prototyped editing several frames at once. That prototype was an early step towards editing breakpoints in Figma Sites.

For FigJam’s first birthday, I built keyword detection for cursor chat, plus text effects that bring certain words to life. I also worked on some other improvements and got named on the cursor chat patent.

At the Ontario Digital Service, I built data visualizations and pages for the province’s COVID-19 site, which had 1.25 million views in its first week.

WHEREable is a capstone prototype that I built in a team with other SYDE students in my class. It uses microphones and a Raspberry Pi to pick out sudden sounds like car horns, and a haptic belt that buzzes to show people with hearing loss which direction the sound came from.

A site I designed and built to trace how any two artists connect through their collaborations and show that six degrees of separation holds up in music too.
