Summary
Andrea Waldren is a frontend developer with eight years of experience blending user-centered design, accessibility advocacy, and library operations to deliver maintainable web experiences. Based in Roanoke, Virginia, she builds responsive front ends using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React and modern tooling (Node, npm, AWS, Cypress) and has applied those skills across university-scale sites and content management systems like Adobe Experience Manager. Her background in academic libraries and MLIS training gives her a rare dual perspective: she translates complex stakeholder and research needs into practical, accessible digital solutions while managing projects and teams. A natural problem solver, Andrea pairs hands-on coding with policy planning, cross-browser testing, and analytics-informed iteration to remove barriers to information access.
