 ## About me
 
-I am a Software Engineer specializing in front-end JavaScript development, with 12+ years of professional experience in the front-end space. My goal is to craft experiences that delight the user, with a keen emphasis on accessibility, usability, and performance.
+I'm a Software Engineer specializing in front-end JavaScript development.
 
-In my downtime, you can probably find me **exploring Portland**, **thrifting**, playing **video games**, or tinkering/contributing to **open source**.
+My pronouns are **she/her**.
+
+I love all things **TypeScript**, **React**, **Next.js**, but love getting my hands dirty with a bit of everything across the stack.
+
+Currently most interested in expanding my knowledge on more backend-related tasks (databases, caching, auth, etc), hacking on JavaScript-based infrastructure and tooling (bundlers, CLI tools, etc), and maximizing developer productivity.
+
+I live in **Portland, Oregon**, and in my free time, you can probably find me exploring the city, thrifting, playing video games, or tinkering/contributing to open source.

-### Interest/area of focus
-
-While my roots lie in web development, I would say my interest has shifted more towards the ["back-of-the-front-end"](https://bradfrost.com/blog/post/front-of-the-front-end-and-back-of-the-front-end-web-development/) (in the great front-end developer divide).
-
-In addition to building the UI and interactions, I also love tinkering with JavaScript-based tools and infrastructure (CLI tools, monorepos, bundlers, etc), DevOps stuff (deployment tooling, CI/CD integration, etc), and all the functionality that encompasses app business logic (CRUD, routing, caching, auth, and so on).
-
-Truthfully, I just love to get my hands dirty with a little bit of everything and love learning new things.
