I’m a “front of the frontend” software engineering leader who loves supporting teams working with the Jamstack, React, CSS (😍), design systems, and accessibility.

I started my tech career working at digital agencies in NYC where I saw firsthand how the Jamstack would revolutionize the web. I loved it so much that I joined Netlify in 2018 as employee number 30-something, where I worked on the React app that powers app.netlify.com and later managed the burgeoning growth team.

In 2022, I went to work on my other favorite dev tool: GitHub. Combining my love of UI, accessibility, and systems thinking, I joined as a staff engineering manager to support the team who builds Primer.
 
In my spare time, I frequent the ReactJS Dallas and Women Who Code DFW meetups, volunteer at Jewish Family Service, teach ninth grade religious school, play board games, host dinner parties, and hang out with my (chef) spouse Eli and our basset hound mix FBI Agent Burt "Mack" Macklin.
