Hello, I'm Carrie 👋

I'm a frontend engineer based in the SF Bay Area who focuses on building thoughtfully designed digital experiences using tools like React, GraphQL, and TypeScript.

Carrie with two cats: a black cat named Olive, and a gray tabby named K2.

I’m a maker at heart, and I love building things that are both functional and beautiful—whether that's through code, textiles, or other hobbies.

On my site, you’ll find posts that follow my journey as a frontend engineer, including tutorials, tips, and insights into the technologies I use. I also share personal projects that reflect my interests outside of work, like sewing, knitting, and other creative endeavors.

I currently work on the Platform team at Valon, where I build and maintain our design system, improve developer experience, and help scale our frontend architecture.

When I’m not busy writing code, you’ll find me exploring the greater Bay Area, spending quality time with my five cats, or working on a knitting or sewing project.
