Hi, I'm Laura, a Software Developer with over 10 years of experience in web application development. Click the Experience tab so see my work experience, or read on to see what else I've been up to lately!
I am currently looking for new opportunities to expand my skill set and take on new challenges. I am a strong advocate for diversity and inclusion in the tech industry, and I am committed to creating a welcoming and supportive environment for all team members and clients.
Personal Projects
This website
It's not pretty; it's content first. I made this website using Next.js and React, outputting a static website using Github pages. I am using Typescript, which I'm used to, and Tailwind, which I'm new to. I've been using CSS and various CSS tools since 2001, so Tailwind is pretty straightforward to use!
Sustainable Gardening App
I'm working on an idea I've had for a while, an app that helps home gardeners be more sustainable in their choices and maintenance.
Boot.dev
You may have heard of Boot.dev for learning backend development; so did I! I've been filling out my skills with Object Oriented and Functional programming in Python and rounding out my knowledge of SQL. My profile.
Non-Profit Work
I am a volunteer board member at Milwaukie Parks Foundation, a community advocate for quality parks in reach of every citizen of Milwaukie.
This summer we have hosted concerts, tabled at city events, and gathered more volunteers than ever! My favorite MPF activities are the work parties, where community members come together to clean up and revitalize our nature areas.
