About Me

Lofi image of Kayla

After looking in people's mouths for 3 years, I realized the hardest challenge I would face was getting people to floss.

Since I was the go-to person to fix the printer and troubleshoot our dental software, I decided to put my critial thinking and problem solving skills to use by pursuing a different career, where I fell in love with the challenging yet rewarding field known as software development.

I worked at Sandhills Global on the Auction Software Team, working on the web application that built Auction Time before I moved. I tackled a range of projects:

  • Overhaul of UX/UI based off prototype
  • Implemented new features
  • Increased user traffic to our auction boards
  • Fixed bugs
  • Accessibility Audit to conform to WCAG 2.0

Armed with the knowledge I gained at Sandhills, I am passionate about delivering a high-quality user experience while I continue to grow.
