Anissa Jones is a Ruby on Rails engineer with 11 years of experience building accessible, user-focused web applications for government and SaaS products, currently developing automated security-check workflows for refugee and asylum case management. She transitioned from theater to tech through self-directed learning and community leadership—rising to Team Lead in Women Who Code D.C.—and found her niche in Rails after attending General Assembly. Comfortable across the full stack, she has delivered production features at ClickFunnels, USCIS, and nonprofit projects, and she brings practical experience with accessibility (508) fixes, Kanban-driven delivery, and stakeholder-driven user stories. Curious and investigative by nature, she enjoys “breaking things to see how they work,” which informs her pragmatic, test-minded approach to debugging and automation. Based in Rockville, MD, she combines creative problem solving from her theater background with a collaborative, community-first attitude toward engineering.
