Sarah Rollins

SOFTWARE DESIGNER

Nice to meet you, I'm Sarah.

I'm a design focused software engineer with ambitions of bringing people together through technology.

I'm a soon to be bootcamp graduate from WeCanCodeIT, a program that is focused on full stack development. I have experience developing anything from databases to websites, and the web apps that sit in between them. I am constantly trying to learn more. My goal is to create experiences for users that are lightweight and responsive, while not sacrificing aesthetics or accessibility.

When I'm not working, I'm helping to manage various communities for at risk trans youth, or trying to teach myself how to cook something amazing.

that's me!

What I do:

WEB DEVELOPMENT

HTML, CSS, JS that are beautiful and responsive while also being maintainable and clean.

UX DESIGN

Having faced the wall that can be getting into tech many times, I've felt the frustration of how something that should be easy ends up being the complete opposite. I strive to be mindful about this in my designs.

DIVERSITY

I am a strong advocate for diversity in tech, and so is the bootcamp that I'm coming from. As a soon to be graduate of WeCanCodeIT, I carry forward the program's mission to promoting for a more diverse field in technology.
