Summary
Krista Simmons is a Frontend Engineer based in San Diego with 9 years of experience building user-focused web applications and migrating legacy sites to modern, headless architectures. She specializes in Vue.js/Nuxt, TypeScript, and design-forward component development guided by Domain Driven Design, Storybook, and comprehensive testing with Jest and Cypress. Krista combines agency and freelance experience to deliver responsive, accessible CMS and e-commerce solutions (WordPress, Shopify, Hugo) that balance marketing needs and engineering scalability. At SolidProfessor she’s driven a WordPress-to-headless migration and builds reusable UI components that streamline collaboration between product and marketing teams. A Southern California native and SDSU graduate, she pairs entrepreneurial instincts from running a web studio with pragmatic Agile practices to ship polished, maintainable interfaces. Less obvious: she blends classical full‑stack chops (PHP, MAMP stacks) with modern toolchains (Vite, Docker, GraphQL) to bridge legacy systems and forward-looking front ends.
