Hi, I’m Ella

I’m a full-stack developer with a background in SaaS systems, workflow design, and operations.

I build applications that focus on real-world workflows, usability, and data-driven systems.

Current work

  • Building full-stack applications focused on workflow-driven systems
  • Expanding backend and deployment experience

What I bring

  • 10+ years working in SaaS environments and technical systems
  • Full-stack development with React, Node.js, Express, and PostgreSQL
  • Experience building and deploying applications using AWS, Netlify, and Render
  • Strong focus on workflow design and process improvement

Domain experience

I’ve been involved in the equestrian industry my entire life, growing up in a family rooted in Quarter Horse breeding. That background evolved into hands-on experience supporting horse show office operations, including managing entries, scheduling, results, and reporting to associations such as AQHA and NSBA.

Professionally, I spent over a decade working in SaaS environments at Ecolane, where I worked closely with client systems, onboarding, and cross-functional teams. I supported product demonstrations, translated operational needs into technical requirements, and helped structure workflows and documentation to support real-world system use.

More recently, I completed full-stack training through CodeX Academy and have been building applications that reflect these same principles, focusing on usability, workflow design, and how systems support real users in practice.

This combination of industry knowledge, SaaS experience, and development work shapes how I approach building practical, reliable tools.

Tech stack

Frontend: React, JavaScript, HTML, CSS/SCSS, Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap, shadcn/ui Backend: Node.js, Express, REST APIs

Current focus

  • Building full-stack applications
  • Improving workflow-driven systems
  • Exploring roles that combine technical and operational problem-solving
