Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKait Sewell is a Senior Software Engineer with seven years of experience blending creative practice and production-grade engineering to break down information silos at Notch8. Rooted in a background in sculpture and arts operations, she brings a practiced eye for UX and systems thinking to full‑stack work with JavaScript, React, Ruby on Rails, and PostgreSQL. Comfortable in fast-paced, collaborative environments, Kait pairs BDD/TDD, pair and mob programming, and pragmatic DevOps tools like Docker and Git to deliver reliable features and tests. Her career merges operational leadership—implementing Salesforce, GAAP accounting, and large-scale data organization—with hands-on teaching experience as an instructor of JS, React, and Rails. An artist and pyrotechnician at heart, she deliberately “breaks things” to learn and improve systems, and she’s pursuing fluency in Welsh, Turkish, and Japanese in addition to intermediate Spanish.
