Summary
Kait Sykes is a full‑stack web and mobile developer with a decade of experience designing and shipping accessible, user‑focused digital products for cultural and public institutions. As ITS Senior Specialist at Toronto Public Library she leads strategy, design, and development for corporate sites, microsites, and apps, bringing a background in digital design from the Royal Ontario Museum and hands‑on publishing production that seeded her transition into code. Her toolkit spans React, Node.js, Drupal, WordPress, PHP and Java, complemented by Express/MongoDB experience and strong practice in responsive design, accessibility review, and user testing. She mentors emerging developers, wires up UX in Adobe XD and Sketch, and pairs creative visual instincts with pragmatic engineering to move projects from prototype to production. Based in Old Toronto, Kait balances rigorous technical work with an appetite for typography, reading 100 books a year, and a well‑documented obsession with her dog and popcorn.
