I’m Katie, a software developer at Accretive Technology Group with my B.S. in computer science from the University of Rochester. I love working with Linux, Rust, Python, and Docker; building things from Linux utilities to games to websites. Previously, I was an embedded systems developer at Genie Industries
this is what i'm doing
Pickle's Fetch Quest
Platformer built from scratch in Python, inspired by Kirby’s Great Cave Offensive and the Game Boy
While attending the University of Rochester, I served as webmaster and tech maintenance director for the Computer Interest Floor. I started with a redesign of the CIF website, inventorying the existing site to create a design that was reusable across services and maintainable for non-technical individuals
Other projects included Linux server maintenance, refactoring a PHP-based user control panel with unit tests, and rewriting a C firmware project with full documentation and simulated integration tests. i also gave talks to the university community on Linux, Git, SSH, and using OpenGL with Python
Kejt
March 2012
Kejt is a multimedia blog for posting my creative works. It also serves as a playground for me to experiment with new web technologies
Like most of my side projects, it serves as a safe place to experiment and try new things. While Kejt does make use of newer technology like html5 audio, it degrades gracefully in less capable browsers
Mood & Figure is a collection of inspiration I’ve found over the years
The site is an image blog that subtly uses colors taken from each entry, and always links back to the original artists if possible. There’s also tag-based search that allows for excluding certain tags and including multiple tags
Mood & Figure also adapts to smaller screen sizes, and loads all images adaptively to prevent mobile visitors from downloading more data than necessary
