Portrait of Kaitlyn

Kaitlyn Rice

Seattle, WA

I'm a full stack software engineer with experience building responsive web apps, scalable APIs, and data-driven solutions. I've been coding since 2017, honing my skills through personal projects, freelance work, and professional roles, gaining expertise in frontend frameworks, backend development, and database design and optimization. My work spans from interactive websites, real-time IoT systems, and e-commerce platforms. I've implemented CI/CD pipelines, deployed cloud-based services, and optimized both front-end performance and backend workflows. Beyond coding, I love creating spreadsheets and dashboards for almost every occasion, designing my Animal Crossing island, or hanging out with my 2 orange kitties.
