Katie Thomas is a full-stack software engineer in San Francisco with 12 years of experience building customer-facing features and growth tooling, currently improving core frontend and performance at Thumbtack. She brings a rare blend of classroom pedagogy and engineering rigor—after three years teaching secondary math she transitioned into software, integrating computer-science thinking into curricula and later shipping scalable tools like a 600K+ review matcher and SEO-driven landing page algorithms. Comfortable across front-end rewrites, AngularJS projects, backend services and SOA, she has driven measurable impact such as a 10% boost in internal user productivity. A lifelong learner with an MIT BS in Biology and ongoing math coursework, Katie pairs analytical depth with hands-on product execution. Outside work she climbs, practices yoga, and bakes sourdough, hobbies that mirror her iterative, problem-solving approach.
