obligatory self-describing blurb

Hi! My name is Kristen, and I work on the web!

Here are some things I am or have been at some point in my life:

• Champion for adding Decorators to JavaScript
• Principal frontend engineer at Bitski
• Ember.js core team alumn
• Formerly at LinkedIn, Addepar, Ticketfly (now EventBrite)
• Maintainer of far too many NPM packages

Outside of work I’m an amateur chef (I make a mean stew), a sci-fi/spec-fic enthusiast (with dreams of one day writing my own), a board game connoisseur (I’ll find a D&D group eventually), a budding pixel artist (as seen in the top left*), and a dabbler in exploring the great outdoors (I summitted a mountain once!).

I’m also a dog mom, and head over heels for my partner Liz ❤️.

I firmly believe that black lives matter, gender is fluid (I would know just a bit about that), all human beings are valid, and justice is not just unless it’s for everyone. My pronouns are she/her.

If you want to get in touch, you can shoot me an email at [email protected] or DM me on Matrix (apologies if I take a while to respond, I am perpetually busy).
