About

Hi, I'm Kacy!

I'm a software engineer who specializes in building scalable and intuitive web-based applications.

In other words, I love JavaScript. I first started learning it in 2017 when my tolerance for delivering food and slinging lattes had officially run out. I read Jon Duckett's JavaScript and JQuery cover to cover, buried myself in Youtube tutorials, and eventually signed up for a web development bootcamp in Seattle, WA. And even though my experience until then was not computer science focused, my artistic experiences prepared me well for the creative challenges of web development. I discovered quickly that my brain was well suited for the blend of logic and creativity that writing code requires, and I've been in love with it ever since.

A few months and a grueling job search later, I landed my first full-time front-end engineering role at Adaptiva, an endpoint management software company based in Kirkland, WA. Once I was immersed in a professional environment and surrounded by engineers far more talented than me, I was able to rapidly absorb new knowledge and moved from entry level to senior engineer in two years. Alongside this full time role I've continuously taken on projects as a freelancer, contributing to or building from scratch a number of complex and unique applications. This additional work has helped me keep pace with the ever-changing landscape of front-end web development, and with every day and every google search I'm learning more and more. I couldn't be more grateful to work in a field that allows me to do just that.
