Web Development

Hi! My name's Sarah and

I make pretty web things.

I'm an experienced web developer who's been working in the industry for the better part of the last decade, first as a web designer and UX engineer, but mostly as a frontend developer and full-stack engineer.

My Work

A few choice cuts from my professional endeavors


  • Whether building full-stack web apps in Typescript for Fortune 10 clientele, leveraging serverless platforms for rapid iteration on enterprise-scale ecommerce projects, or running regular pair programming sessions to support team members trying to grow, working at Heat Waves gives me opportunities to flex my engineering and team support skills while working with truly incredible clients.

  • I worked as a full-stack generalist, going where ever the project needed - backend (Node, Mongo, Postgres, 12 factor apps), frontend (Vue/React/Typescript), design (Figma/UX/UI), QA (testing, both manual and automated w/ > 50% code coverage), or technical product management (archtecture, spec generation, client liasing). Variety is the spice of life, and agency work is never boring!

    A screenshot of a minimalist website, white background with sleek black text and neon-teal accents for an agency called 'Arck'. It has a navbar on top with a logo to the left and a menu of links to the right, and below a sales pitch that features the heading 'Geek Chic' and pitches the agencies design and development services

  • Working as a frontend developer, I helped build out the user interface of their smart calendar product using Vue. It is always a joy to work with a large team on a project built with TDD principles in mind, and this product in particular was fantastic. My first real Typescript job, and while it was challenging at first, I've grown to love the language.

    A screenshot of a enterprise software as a service product named Keap. Its colored primarily in light shades of beige with forest green accents with black text and buttons. Its primary navigation has a logo on the left, links for 'Products', 'Features', 'Pricing', and 'Interesting Stuff' as well as links for support and authenticating. Below is a picture of the software itself along with large serif text that reads 'Grow sale with time and automation'

  • I helped build & expand Komae's first product, a platform allowing for community-based childcare exchange called Wana. Working on Wana, I switched between backend, web, and mobile client developer roles, working with Node, Express, C#, MySQL, all deployed and automated on Azure. Client-side, I worked with Vue, Sass & Webpack for the web client and NativeScript-Vue and eventually React Native for the Komae mobile app.

    A screenshot of a website with a white background and black text with orange highlights. The logo in the top left is a stylized icon of a child reaching up in the shape of a 'K' and the name of the website is 'Komae'. The main site features a sales pitch for the childcare exchange platform, on the left and a picture of a smiling woman with long sandy-blonde hair and a warm smile that is cut off below her chin.

  • While working at Yaymaker, I helped build & launch React/Redux/GraphQL & Node/Express/Postgres internationalized ticket checkout system. Additionally, I authored curriculum and held workshops to familiarize team with new front-end libraries and practices, such as React, Redux, ES6, Babel, & Webpack.

    A screenshot of a website that has a background of a crowd of people drinking alcohol and painting, with one woman in the foreground making a toast and holding her drink up. Overlayed on top is a search bar for nearby events and a navbar with links to 'Paint Nite', 'Events', 'Photos', 'Group Events', 'Gift Cards', and 'Help'.
