Profile: https://flows.cv/kimberlymccarty

I'm a software engineer who's worked primarily with Java, Kotlin, and Android. I love writing useful software with clean, readable code. I always try to contribute in a way that's easier for others to build on.

Kotlin's been my favorite language to work in lately, but I also work in Java and JavaScript. I've played with C, Clojure, Scala, and Elm, and would be eager to learn more about them in the future. At my previous position, I worked on an app that was much more than just a thin client but which held a lot of business logic and also needed to work with backend components from time to time. This honed my cross team communication and full stack skills.

I'm also an alumni Recurser, and really hope I can find a company that shares a similar passion for inclusion and continuous learning! There's nothing quite like finding a community and getting to use new skills to make a codebase better.

I'm proudest of:
* Pushing my team to adopt Kotlin, and encouraging them to embrace its functional idioms and immutable types, which helped with readability and maintainability
* Contributing to a hackathon project to create a text message alert system, that allows restaurant employees to discreetly use the POS ask a manager or another employee for help in an emergency
* Working with my team to implement a guest-facing display, which required learning to work with less well documented parts of Android
