Core Skills
About Me
I'm a full-stack developer and UX/UI-minded builder who loves turning messy ideas into clean, usable products. I care deeply about design details, accessibility, and making things feel fast and intuitive — but I also enjoy the backend puzzle of APIs, data flows, and systems that actually hold up in real life.
I work best in small, shippable steps, with clear commits and documentation so future me (and teammates) don't suffer. B.S. in Software Development from Capella University (March 2026, 3.98 GPA). Previously led a design team shipping 6 production sites for a client ecosystem.
What I Do
Frontend Excellence
Polished, responsive interfaces with reusable components and consistent UI patterns. I bridge design intent and implementation details—spacing, typography, states, responsiveness.
Full-Stack Features
End-to-end feature development from UI to API integration and data flow. Comfortable with Java/Spring Boot services, REST APIs, and production-ready backends.
CMS & Content Systems
CMS-driven sites and content workflows, including Craft CMS environments. Content modeling, migrations, and template architecture that makes editors' lives easier.
AI Integration
AI-powered interfaces and workflows, from multi-agent platforms to GPT-4 Vision integrations. Built autonomous AI artist with mood systems, MCP tooling, and RAG-powered documentation.

What Clients Say
"Elizabeth was the backbone of this project. While every team member played a role, it was Elizabeth who carried the technical weight and delivered a product that exceeded expectations... What set Elizabeth apart beyond her technical ability was her communication. A technically brilliant person who cannot communicate is difficult to work with. Elizabeth was both brilliant and a pleasure to collaborate with, and that combination is genuinely rare.
