Kia ora, I'm Emelyn.

I'm a software developer based in Wellington, New Zealand but originally from Chicago, USA. I love reading and writing fantasy fiction, coding, and gaming.

I'm a career changer ready to dive into the world of web development and who's passionate about creating diverse, inclusive, and equitable technology.

JavaScript, CSS, and HTML are my jam. Currently, I'm learning TypeScript to supplement my JavaScript and React skillset. Also, I'm really loving Next.js as a frontend framework and exploring various integrations with it.
