# Nachmi Kott > Senior Software Engineer at IXL Learning Location: Seattle, Washington, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/nachmi Thanks for visiting my profile! Most of my day is spent designing, coding, and collaborating with team members on how to turn something good into something great. With 8+ years of demonstrating career growth and championing technical leadership opportunities, the most prevalent learning point is: creating space and opportunity for team members to do their best work leads to better results. My background has been eclectic, where I've been able to put my can-do-attitude, team-oriented mindset, and self-driven learning to the test. I'm currently a Senior Software Engineer at IXL Learning, developing experiences that enable language learners to reach their goals! I am passionate about tackling problems in team-oriented environments; engaging in paired programming, and collaboration on research and developments is what gives me momentum in the workplace. Outside of the workplace, I'm often skiing, tutoring students in software engineering, traveling, spending time with family and friends, woodworking or learning a new song on the keyboard. If you want to connect, send me a message and let's chat! Looking forward to connecting! ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ IXL Learning Jan 2024 – Present | Seattle, Washington, United States ### Senior Software Engineer (IV) - FullStack @ GoDaddy Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Seattle, Washington, United States Tech Stack: Javascript, React, Linaria, Lerna, GitHub, Artifactory, Redux, NextJS, Amazon EKS, Jenkins, Docker, Cypress, AWS WAF, AWS CloudWatch, GitHub Actions Modernized a front-end web application that leveraged tools such as React, Next.js, Redux, Linaria, Bootstrap, AWS ECS + Fargate & Docker.
