I'm Elizabeth Margolis, a Software Engineer with over 14 years of experience across the software development spectrum — from scripting and security to mobile, backend, and frontend development. I’ve also held roles in technical leadership and coaching, shaping both product and people.
Currently, I’m part of the team at Kiddom, building tools that improve how educators manage and visualize curriculum. My work spans full-stack development, with a focus on intuitive user interfaces using React and TypeScript, and efficient backend services in Go and AWS Lambdas.
- Enhancing front-end systems with React and TypeScript.
- Expanding my backend expertise in Go and AWS serverless services.
- Building features that improve developer experience and streamline team workflows.
- Scalable backend architecture and observability practices.
- Deeper integrations for productivity tooling across engineering teams.
- Developer experience tools and UX-driven applications.
- Systems where thoughtful architecture and user impact go hand in hand.
I thoughtfully integrate AI into my development process as a productivity enhancer — from debugging to idea validation — without becoming dependent on it. It’s a tool I use to work smarter, not a crutch.
