About me

Transforming visions into exceptional websites

Hi, I’m Kayla — a developer who loves a good challenge and believes the best work happens when there’s a mix of curiosity, collaboration, and problem-solving. I get just as excited about untangling a tricky bug as I do about brainstorming fresh ideas with my team. I’m detail-oriented enough to catch the small things that make a big difference, but flexible enough to adapt when projects take unexpected turns (because they always do!).

I’m known as a team player who communicates clearly, adapts quickly, and anticipates challenges before they become roadblocks. Whether I’m working with designers, developers, or clients, I bring a steady balance of focus and flexibility to help projects move forward smoothly.

Outside of work, you’ll probably find me with a matcha latte in hand, sketching out new ideas, or hanging out with my cats, Bibi and Po. I like to bring that same mix of curiosity, creativity, and care into the work I do every day.

Testimonials

What they think about me

I have had several classes with Kayla and have consistently been impressed with how much functionality she adds on top of implementing great designs to her projects. Where I think she excels more than any of her classmates is the ability to breakdown tougher tasks into smaller, more understandable pieces. Kayla and I worked in a team on a project for our last semester, and she stayed on top of the most difficult functionality that the website uses. She is very respectful to anyone she works with, and has given value input from start to finish, whether it be on design or coding. I'm looking forward to seeing where she goes from here!

I had the pleasure of being a classmate with Kayla in a few classes at WCTC for the Front-End web development program. She has great skills, ideas and projects that she showed in each class I had with her. She has always gone above and beyond in the assignments that we had in class. Also, a very respectful team member in a couple of projects I got to work with her on. Always sharing valuable feedback and ideas to the team. She is also always happy to help if anyone was stuck on a problem or needed feedback on their own work. I am so happy I got the opportunity to meet Kayla! Shes great and is going to go far in the field!

Working alongside Kayla has been an absolute pleasure and a valuable learning experience. Her expertise in front-end web development is truly impressive. Not only does she bring a depth of knowledge to the table, but she also possesses a remarkable ability to navigate through challenges, demonstrating determination to figure things out. Throughout our project, she has been an exceptional team member, always ready to lend a helping hand and offer insightful solutions.
