About me

Hi, I'm Katie! I'm a software engineer living in Portland, OR, who loves interior design, making craft cocktails, and flying through the air at my local circus school. Finding a balance between a professional and personal website is just as hard (and rewarding) as finding that perfect work/life balance.

On this site and in this blog you'll find me—the whole me. That means posts about Next.js or parsers side by side with posts about IKEA flips and vintage finds. I hope you'll have fun here and find something new. Happy reading!

P.S. If you haven’t yet, try the work/life balance slider above!
