About Me

Hi! My name is Kaelyn. I'm a Software Engineer from Canada based in Irvine, California. I am passionate about building beautiful interfaces and making the web accessible for all.

Most recently, I was a Founding Engineer at Lil Snack, where I built the daily games platform delivering engaging new player experiences, social systems, onboarding flows, brand integrations, internal tools, and core platform infrastructure.

I also worked at Blizzard Entertainment on the Battle.net e-commerce storefront, delivering games and experiences to millions of players. Prior to that, I worked at Uplift making travel accessible and affordable for everyone, at Ample Organics making medical cannabis safely accessible to those in need, and at E-Data Now ensuring quality assurance compliance in the automotive industry.
