Initializing Portfolio v3.0
Marlisa Odokara.
Software Engineer — Frontend.
Building precise, performant interfaces and AI-integrated experiences that hold up in production. Four years deep in React and TypeScript, from pixel-perfect UIs to LLM-powered products.
Who I am.
I'm a software engineer with a frontend bias. Four years building things that feel fast, clean, and intentional. From enterprise-scale products at Capital One to high-impact digital experiences for Samsung at Cheil, I've worked across teams where the details matter and performance isn't optional.
Before tech, I spent 6 years in the US Navy. That's where I learned to stay calm under pressure, lead through ambiguity, and ship things that actually have to work. That discipline still shows up in everything I build.
