Too long, not gonna read? No problem.

🐺 Dog-lover. 🌲 Tree-hugger. πŸ’­ Thought-thinker. 🎭 Feelings-feeler. πŸ‘©πŸΌβ€πŸ’» Code-writer. 🧠 ADHD/Anxious-Brain. πŸ‘€ Currently in search of my next role.

Hello!

I'm Kate, a creative tinkerer, chronic optimizer, and an extremely-human human. I live in Missoula, Montana with my dog Moose. After almost three years at Zapier, I’m in search of a new team to support as a Frontend (React) Engineer.

Outside of work my brain is likely tangled up in one of the following topics:

  • When is my next opportunity to take my kayak out on the Bitterroot / Clark Fork rivers? What snacks and beverages should accompany me on this adventure?

  • Where should I go backpacking/camping next? What bit of nature am I missing most or what bit of nature am I most curious to explore for the first time?

  • What friends and/or family have I been missing most lately? Can I sneak in a trip to see them in the next couple months? (Did someone say rooooooadtriiiiippppp?!)

  • Now that my brain is relentlessly determined to spot interesting rocks in the dirt/gravels paths around here, decide if this new specimen is worth toting home, scrubbing with various firm brushes, and adding to my collection of relatively common but sentimentally precious specimens. Which of these new-found treasures is a priority for tumbling?

  • Choose a jigsaw puzzle from my queue to start β€” or better yet, should I go get the currently-in-progress puzzle from my office and work on that while I watch TV? (…or maybe I’ll just continue to doom scroll?)

  • Make up my mind about the next book I’ll read β€” will they be titles from my growing "to read" shelf, or should I further indulge my reading habits and purchase something new instead (spoiler: the latter wins more often than I'd like to admit).

Curious? Feel free to follow along via the Twitter/Instagram links below.
