turning coffee into code
one div at a time
Hi! I'm Amy-Kate, but everyone calls me AK. I've been coding since the MySpace days of yore, and I've come a long way since table based layouts and autoplaying emo songs.
I love code and tech, and I'm always trying to figure out how to build things in a better, more efficient way.
I love writing code. Really love it. I started in high school and never stopped.
I pride myself on being able to hop between the front and back end of a project, helping out wherever I'm needed, but I'm most comfortable in the client-side world. I love creating subtle animations and gorgeous user interfaces. I'm known amongst the designers I've worked with for creating pixel-perfect pages and for being a great collaborator. I have an eye for visual design and derive a ridiculous amount of joy from a site with slick hover states.
I play well with others - in my past life I worked in client relations so I am as comfortable with a crowd as I am with a friend. I like to bond with my teammates and to mentor more junior developers. I'm happiest when I'm working with smart, friendly, and curious people.
Other things about me:
I love learning - I speak French and I'm trying to learn Spanish.
Coffee is my love language.
Side project: Urban Ipsum
I'm left handed.
I love watching Dateline.
