A little about me

Born and raised in Hawaii, 🏝 now living in Los Angeles. I enjoy building web apps, spending time outdoors, hiking, picnics and plants. Web development is my favorite creative outlet and is where my passion lies.

My hospitality background has provided me with valuable transferable skills as a Software Engineer. Some include a demonstrated ability to work in dynamic and fast-paced environments, team collaboration, customer service, and effective communication between team members and various departments.

My favorite technologies are JavaScript, React.js/Redux, HTML5 and CSS3. However, I'm also skilled in the technologies located below my photo.

I have experience in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), RESTful APIs, Test-Driven Development (TDD) and pair-programming.

Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn or contact me via email!

Testimonials

Chase R.

"Caitlin is capable, creative developer, a dogged problem-solver, a natural leader.

At the team level, Caitlin is joy to work with. But more importantly, she’s a central part of whatever team she joins. This was true at the level of our cohort too - not only was she a leading voice in a group of 100+ individuals, but she was also the principal organizer for our social media info sessions and meeting places.

There’s a lot more I could say, but in short, I know Caitlin’s going to continue on to a stellar career. I would recommend her to anyone considering bringing him on their team. She’s certain to prove an immense asset."
