About

Hey I'm Kat 👋 A Junior Software Engineer passionate about building intuitive, user-friendly interfaces that make technology feel effortless. With a background in UX / UI Design and Product Management, I bring a user-first mindset to frontend development, ensuring what I build isn't just functional - it truly resonates with users.

I started in software engineering as a co-founder and low-code developer, launching Talk to Maple, an AI-powered self-care mobile app. That experience sparked my love for coding and crafting great user experiences, leading me to earn a Diploma of IT with Coder Academy, where I honed my skills in JavaScript, React, and UI development.

Since then, I've grown my experience through a software engineering internship, immersive training with _nology, and now my role at Aurecon, where I help embed generative AI into intuitive applications - creating seamless, accessible, and engaging AI-powered experiences. I thrive on collaboration, problem-solving, continuous learning and translating complex challenges into elegant products that make a real impact.
