Hello and welcome! My name is Keri and I work as a Software Developer & Consultant in Chicago. I was raised in the area, and love all that Chicago has to offer (there is something for everyone!). I studied at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I lived, studied, and worked in Paris during college for a year, which was a life-changing experience that showed me many different ways to live!

I’ve always loved computers, and it’s amazing to see how much they’ve evolved over time, as well as our relationship with them and their involvement in our daily lives. As a software engineer, what keeps me happy is always focusing on what I enjoy, such as the developer experience and the user experience. I’m lucky to have worked with passionate, intelligent people throughout my career, who have taught me and continue to teach me so much. Outside of work, you can find me making art, writing, reading, cooking, baking, traveling, practicing yoga and meditation, and decorating. I have a lot of dreams and hopes for my life, and I do my best to create my dream reality.
