Hey there, I'm Kari. I'm a software engineer with a background in backend development who strives to build high quality, maintainable software that supports good business outcomes. I love building things that have a positive impact on the end user, and I seek to understand the big picture and leverage that context to ensure that the “how” and “what” we’re building align with the “why”. I do my best work in highly communicative, collaborative, and creative teams that take on strong levels of ownership and investment in what they deliver. On a personal note, I'm happiest when I'm learning — I'm a photographer/videographer, Latin dancer, powerlifter, reader, and occasional skier.
