Kim McCaskill - Front End Engineer

Welcome! My name is Kim and I am a Software Developer with a focus on Front-End technologies.

6 years in softwareEnterprise and government scale

About

Thoughtful front-end craft with an educator's empathy.

Before software, I earned my Bachelor's in Instrumental Music Education from Florida State University, spent long days in the marching band under the Florida sun, and worked three summers as a camp counselor at FSU Summer Music Camps. I later trained at Turing School of Software and Design, and I have been building software since 2020 (6 years and counting). That path still shapes how I work: I break down complex systems into teachable parts, listen closely, and translate ideas across disciplines. As a front-end engineer, I bring that same musician's precision and educator's empathy to craft interfaces that feel clear, thoughtful, and genuinely human.

Cruxing in Color

Front End DeveloperPast contribution

Built as a React front end with Strapi as a headless CMS for a Denver climbing group focused on connecting, supporting, and empowering self-identified climbers of color.

Current site ownership and implementation have changed, so the live website no longer reflects my original work.

  • Built and refined React-based UI flows
  • Integrated Strapi content models into front-end views
  • Supported iterative feature delivery and usability polish
