Personal Statement
I've had the great pleasure of working with wonderful purpose-driven organizations and people throughout the years and I am always happy to meet, discuss vision and design, maybe share a pet story or two. I have a loving husband with two beautiful dogs who altogether support me. I have a passion for games, stories, puzzles and ocean breezes.

Testimonials
We hired Kara to direct our front-end development team, determine best practice software development, tools, process and implementation, and provide direction for the engineering staff regarding software development and API design. She was a highly valuable senior member of our team, and delivered high-quality results quickly. She also provided experience and guidance for our blockchain-related project. Kara is a clear and efficient communicator as well, and I'm looking forward to working with her again in the future.
