Senior🎓
Top SchoolKat Fairbanks is a Staff Software Developer with 11 years building full-stack, high-throughput systems from Cincinnati, Ohio. She specializes in Ruby on Rails and React but brings hands-on experience across event-driven architectures, Elasticsearch integrations, Scala/Akka Streams, and operational work toward Kubernetes. At Flowspace and Generate she led cross-team initiatives that doubled data sync capacity, halved order processing times, and delivered offline-capable PWAs for warehouse workflows. She pairs technical leadership—planning architecture, mentoring, and hiring—with a pragmatic focus on performance tuning and measurable outcomes. Curious about functional languages and AI, she blends product empathy with engineering rigor to turn complex domain problems into maintainable, scalable solutions.
