PAIS is a digital solution aimed at expediting the application process for SNAP / TANF benefits, ensuring that those who require assistance receive it in a timely manner.
Before the Covid-19 pandemic, Hawaii SNAP / TANF applications were solely available in paper format, resulting in a bottleneck for applicants when offices were closed.

This resulted in a responsive single-column layout and I strategically incorporated bold, eye-catching colors to enhance call-to-action elements.
With years of experience in the tech industry, I have consistently demonstrated a commitment to enhancing processes to foster team success.
My passion for process improvement has enabled me to excel in various facets of the software development cycle, taking on multiple roles such as technical product manager, lead front-end developer, UI/UX engineer, scrum master, and agile coach.
