A web and database developer, Kerry developed her first professional website in 1993 in HTML using vi. Since then, she’s developed database-driven web applications for government and corporate clients, managed projects and servers, and taught at a community college. Diagnosed with Crohn’s disease over 25 years ago, she continued to work as a full-time developer until 2016, when chronic pain and fatigue forced her to quit working outside the home. She is now a freelance web developer (WordPress is her jam), and she’s still learning how to balance work and self care.
