Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKayla Thomas is a front-end-focused full-stack engineer with eight years of experience building responsive web applications and data pipelines, currently leading the Texas chapter of /dev/color. With a background in visual arts and a history of teaching programming to homeless and disenfranchised youth as founder of Coding For Hermit Crabs, she combines strong design sensibilities with pragmatic engineering across React, Node/Express, Python, Ruby on Rails and data tooling like Scrapy and Pandas. Her roles at companies from Atlassian to Omada Health and BlackRock reflect comfort shipping client-facing features as well as backend data work, and she often bridges product and customer needs thanks to prior onboarding and support experience. Kayla balances security-minded discretion—many GitHub repos are private client projects—with a willingness to demo work on request, and she is completing AS studies in Artificial Intelligence while based in Houston.
