About Kitty
I am a transfeminine engineer lead with 14 years of experience, including 7 years in engineering management and 3 years in executive leadership.
My background is primarily in frontend and fullstack development, and I’m comfortable working across the entire software stack. I’ve managed engineering organizations of up to 35 people across multiple countries and timezones, and have successfully led ambitious technical initiatives to completion. My skill set includes automated testing, performance, web security, documentation, inclusive design, and modern engineering practices.
Earlier in my career, I worked extensively as a technical writer. I authored two books (on CSS and Sass) and over 350 articles for publications such as CSS-Tricks, Smashing Magazine, Codrops and Tuts+. Clear communication and documentation remain core strengths and passions of mine.
I’ve also been active in open source for over a decade. I created Sass Guidelines, a widely used Sass documentation translated into 13 languages, and a11y-dialog, one of the most popular libraries for accessible modal dialogs. More projects can be found on my GitHub.
Anecdotally, I’m a former Google Developer Expert in frontend development, and have been nominated for the Developer of the Year (Net Awards, 2015) and Open-Source Contributor of the Year (Xena Awards, 2023).
