Top SchoolKay Plunkett is a Frontend Engineering Manager and Technical Lead based in Dallas with nine years of experience building accessible, SEO-driven e-commerce experiences and scalable component systems. At Sally Beauty she led refactors across nine sites and AWS apps, drove a 7% YoY revenue lift, established a cross-platform design system, and built an experimentation ecosystem that unites analytics, UX, product and marketing. She combines hands-on front-end craft (React, Node, Webpack, D3) with team-building: mentoring 10 developers, instituting Agile practices that boosted productivity by 40%, and formalizing Git/Jira workflows. Before tech she spent years as a music therapist and educator, a background that surfaces in her affinity for data visualization, user-centered design, and collaborative coaching. She also runs a web design business delivering multilingual, accessible e-commerce and SEO-first sites, showing both product and client-facing chops. Curious about datasets and spas, she brings a creative, data-informed lens to frontend engineering and experimentation.
