Hello! I'm Emily, a software engineer who builds web applications.

Hello! I'm Emily, an engineering type just trying to have a good time. GOD FORBID. I spend my days wrestling with TypeScript, building web applications, and pretending I understand how databases work. When I'm not debugging someone else's "temporary" solution from 2019, you can find me on GitHub committing crimes against clean code, or on LinkedIn maintaining the professional facade.

Hello! I'm Emily, an engineering type just trying to have a good time. GOD FORBID. I spend my days wrestling with TypeScript, building web applications, and pretending I understand how databases work. When I'm not debugging someone else's "temporary" solution from 2019, you can find me questioning my life choices while staring at a screen full of red squiggly lines.

My GitHub (emily-flambe) is a monument to my hubris, and my LinkedIn (profile) is a carefully curated lie about how together I have it all.
