Hi! My name is Katherine. I love utilizing my skills to develop unique applications. My interest in iOS development started in 2020 when I wrote my first iOS application, QuickCloset.
I'm looking for a full-time new-grad role as well as a winter 2026 SWE internship. If you like what you see, please contact me!
