Just do it!
My time at Nike almost feels like a dream that never happened. Everything about that place is surreal. Their campus is massive, the facilities are breathtaking. The Nike campus is out of this world. Their events are on another level. Everything is extremely professional and built with high standards. Working at Nike is inspiring.
At Nike I worked primarily on the checkout team for nike.com. I couldn't help but purchase many Nike products everyday. Hey, I was just testing.
I also briefly worked on the SNKRs team, reusable components and on web accessibility for nike.com, giving training on web accessibility to my peers.

At Yahoo! I grew, I learned, I won, I conquered, I invented, I innovated, I thrived.
For one of my projects during my time at Yahoo!, I worked closely with the visually impaired. That allowed me to have remarkable and very valuable experiences that I cherish to this day. I led numerous user studies where I watched how visually impaired users interacted with our product. Because of that, I was able to have a better understanding of their daily pain and was able to create a better and much more improved user experience for our products. Not only for visually impaired users, but to all users. Empathy is key.

Others
There are so many other projects I worked on that it feels almost impossible (too lazy) to list them all. But here are some fun ones worth mentioning.
I dig Good Stuff
The IDGS (I Dig Good Stuff) project was one of my proudest works. The Ben & Jerry’s Sourcing Stories site presented a series of beautifully animated and interactive stories narrating the origins of the ingredients used in Ben & Jerry’s delectable ice cream. It was programmed using Javascript and swiffy animations.
