Hi! I'm Emily, and I build things with language.
My first programming language was Logo, and my first website was on GeoCities. I majored in Spanish, went on to pursue translation, and eventually found my way back to programming.
Thus far, I've mostly focused on the web, but I'm drawn to explore other avenues as well, which is one of the reasons I'm currently working on a second bachelor's degree in Computer Science.
I designed this site using Figma. The background colors are approximations of Crayola crayon colors, and I checked all color combinations using the WhoCanUse color contrast tool to make sure they are accessible to people experiencing a wide range of permanent, temporary, and situational visual disabilities.
I built this site with Jekyll to take advantage of its component-friendly templating engine. All the CSS is custom, and I kept the JavaScript to a minimum.
