Summary
Katie Janzen is a Senior Software Engineer with 8 years of full-stack experience who blends pragmatic product delivery with a lifelong passion for game development that began at age eight. Currently at Amplify, she has a track record of shipping front-end and back-end systems, building browser automation and testing tooling with Puppeteer and Jest, and contributing meaningful open-source projects like a Markdown parser and a full-stack ecommerce platform.
