Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSophie Mcgarity is a back-end developer based in Seattle with seven years of experience building production services using TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, Google Cloud Platform, and Kubernetes. She has a strong .NET and C# background from work modernizing APIs and tooling, and has migrated legacy Go services while improving testing and observability practices. At Gatsby and Highlight she balanced customer-facing features with platform reliability—automating billing and monitoring, debugging in Kubernetes, and instrumenting DataDog to reduce user drop-off.

Her background in media production and a study-abroad in Japanese hint at multidisciplinary curiosity and communication strengths that complement her engineering craft.
