Hi, I'm Kayla! I'm a mostly self-taught computer scientist with a passion for building, customizing, and connecting online experiences. From my early days tinkering with digital photography and Minecraft servers, I fell in love with troubleshooting, coding, and creating things that both myself and others can enjoy.
I've explored a variety of tech in my adventures, from web development and UI design to Discord bots and Minecraft server plugin development. I thrive on learning new tools and taking on projects that bring people together through technology.
When I'm not writing code or experimenting with new software, you'll find me laying low, playing sandbox and rhythm games, and watching YouTube. I'm always excited to learn new things and broaden my repertoire of tech skills!
