Kristen excels in collaborative, high-communication teams and has a track record of rapidly learning new stacks and company standards to ship polished user experiences. Before engineering she founded and ran immersive events, developing strong project management, vendor negotiation, and budget stewardship skills that translate into product thinking and stakeholder empathy.
