Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKate Kelly is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in Android and video streaming applications, currently improving the Etsy Android app from her uniquely remote base in Antarctica. She has led tech efforts at Brightcove, building a feature-rich streaming client—player, downloads, profiles, dynamic theming and TV adaptations—and has deep experience integrating analytics, advertising, and platform-specific player customization. Comfortable translating iOS designs to idiomatic Android and modifying platform libraries for better UX, she combines hands-on development with practical technical leadership. Earlier roles spanned full-stack work including Java servers, C# client systems, and hybrid mobile apps, reflecting broad versatility across front-end and backend domains. Known for shipping polished, client-customizable solutions (including a JSON-configurable catalog template), she favors pragmatic, platform-aware engineering over one-size-fits-all approaches. A dual-major CS and Electronic Media graduate from RPI, she blends technical rigor with attention to user-facing design and performance.
