Hi, I'm Liz
I build modern web experiences with thoughtful UX and solid engineering.
About Me
I'm a software development student and UX/UI-minded builder who loves turning messy ideas into clean, usable products. I care deeply about design details, accessibility, and making things feel fast and intuitive — but I also enjoy the backend puzzle of APIs, data flows, and systems that actually hold up in real life.
I work best in small, shippable steps, with clear commits and documentation so future me (and teammates) don't suffer. Currently pursuing my B.S. in Software Development at Capella University with a 3.98 GPA while working as Design Team Lead at Flo Labs.
What I Do
Frontend Excellence
Polished, responsive interfaces with reusable components and consistent UI patterns. I bridge design intent and implementation details—spacing, typography, states, responsiveness.
Full-Stack Features
End-to-end feature development from UI to API integration and data flow. Comfortable with Java/Spring Boot services, REST APIs, and production-ready backends.
CMS & Content Systems
CMS-driven sites and content workflows, including Craft CMS environments. Content modeling, migrations, and template architecture that makes editors' lives easier.
AI Integration
AI-powered interfaces and workflows, including MCP-based tool connections and OpenAI API integrations. Built production AI travel planner with 22+ specialized prompts.

What I'm Looking For
