Hi there! 👋🏾

I'm Karrissa, a Full Stack Software Engineer with roots in clinical research—turns out trading clinical trials for coding challenges wasn't as wild as you'd imagine! I'm passionate about building intuitive, user-centered applications and leveraging technology to create meaningful impact.

My clinical background taught me how to approach problems methodically, think critically, keep the user (or patient!) front and center, and never underestimate the power of clear documentation. These days, I channel that same mindset and energy into building software that's impactful, accessible, and even enjoyable to use.

Here's my tech toolkit:

Languages: JavaScript | TypeScript | Python | SQL
Front End: React | Next.js | Tailwind CSS | Storybook | HTML5 | CSS3
Back End: Node.js | NestJS | PostgreSQL | MySQL | MongoDB | RESTful APIs | GraphQL | Docker | AWS
Testing & Deployment: Jest | React Testing Library | Playwright | GitHub Actions

Please feel free to connect—I'm always up for a chat about tech, swapping career-change stories, or figuring out the latest JavaScript framework (because there's always a new one, right?).
