Summary
Kate Piette is a full-stack software engineer with 11 years of experience who excels at blending thoughtful design sensibilities with pragmatic engineering. She led the creation and adoption of a React component library and design system at Custom Ink, modernizing legacy Rails stacks and powering key micro-frontends used across the product. Her work spans rebuilding product pages, orchestrating cross-functional replacements for cart and API systems, and driving A/B experiments that materially improved business outcomes. A collaborator who evangelizes technical products to stakeholders, she pairs hands-on coding with mentorship and code-quality advocacy. Now at Data Surge, she continues to focus on clean, scalable solutions while bringing a designer’s eye to developer tooling and UX-considerate engineering. An often-overlooked strength is her proven ability to translate design-driven concepts into production-grade systems that win both user trust and executive buy-in.
