Candace Downing is a front-end-focused software engineer with 8 years of diverse experience building user-facing applications using React, Redux, TypeScript/JavaScript, and Node.js. Currently a Software Engineer I at Ivim Health, she has led teams and projects as a Lead Developer at Square 205 and contributed production-ready internal tools as an Application Engineer at Alto.

Her portfolio and multiple full-stack student projects (including an award-winning educational arcade and a meal-planning app leveraging Redis and Firebase) demonstrate both practical CRUD skills and creative problem solving. Comfortable mentoring others and shepherding projects from design handoff to deployment, she enjoys tackling unusual solutions and customizing client-focused products. Based in Denton, Texas, she pairs a maker mentality with reliable front-end craftsmanship and a knack for translating visual concepts into polished interfaces.
