Hello! I'm Kylie.
I am a web developer, technical speaker, and digital creator with experience across the web stack. My expertise lies primarily in product growth and the implementation of a number of Javascript frameworks.
I currently work as an engineering manager at Cloudflare, where I lead teams that write Javascript, develop frontends, and build AI tooling. I am also a Notion Ambassador, advocating for and beta testing the software ahead of official releases.
In my free time, I am an avid hiker and photographer that documents my adventures on a hiking blog built with Next.js. I am tracking progress towards my goal of summitting every 14,000+' peak in the lower 48 United States there.
