Summary
Katherine R is a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer with 9 years of experience building and operating cloud-native systems using AWS, Node.js/TypeScript, GraphQL, MongoDB and modern front-end frameworks like React and Angular. At Atlassian she has led a six-person team, designed microservice architectures, and maintained SLO-driven production services while serving as a Security and Accessibility champion, consistently ranking among top contributors in her product group. Her background in healthcare IT and product delivery — from hands-on prototyping to CMS-facing compliance work — gives her a rare combination of domain expertise and executional rigor. Equally comfortable shipping backend infrastructure or polished front-end experiences, she brings a data-informed, customer-facing mindset and a knack for catching unreported production issues before they escalate.
