Hello, I'm Rachel.


A Product-Minded Developer bridging the gap between Data, Design, and Code.



The Current Chapter: Calgary & Coffee

If you are looking for me right now, you'll likely find me in a beautiful local roastery and café here in Calgary. I am currently balancing my time between serving great coffee and immersing myself in the English language. Being part of the vibrant Calgary café culture is my way of connecting with the local community, improving my communication skills, and gaining a true Canadian perspective while I prepare for my next big step in tech.



My Professional Journey

  • 2022 – Present | Engineering & Technical Strategy
    Focused on building robust full-stack systems (PHP/Nette) and high-end frontends. Currently deep-diving into Next.js and Tailwind CSS to stay at the forefront of modern web standards.
  • 2020 – 2022 | Marketing Leadership
    Led a marketing department where I mastered business strategy and SEO. This experience allows me to understand the "why" behind every line of code I write.
  • 2018 – 2020 | Quality & Data Analysis
    Started as a Manual Tester and Data Analyst. This is where I developed my "sharp eye" for detail and my obsession with structured, clean data.


Technical Expertise

  • AI & Search Strategy: GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), JSON-LD Schema, Technical SEO, AI-assisted development.
  • Frontend: HTML5, CSS3 (Tailwind, SASS, BEM), JavaScript (ES6+), and currently mastering Next.js.
  • Backend: PHP (Nette framework), MySQL, REST APIs.
  • Tools: Figma (UI/UX), Git, Docker, GA4.


Beyond the Screen

Digital Life

  • Architecting clean, scalable, and "transferable" code.
  • Optimizing web performance for both humans and AI models.
  • Building products that make a real business impact.

Physical Life & Adventures

  • Mountains: Hiking, scrambling, and exploring the Rockies.
  • Adrenaline: Running, swimming, cycling, and every other kind of adventure. I'm always ready to try something new!
  • Holistic: Sports massage therapy and bodywork.

Let’s connect – for a project or a hike!

I am a firm believer that the best solutions are found when we are active. I am open to new opportunities and always looking for people to explore with. Whether it's a coding challenge, a new hiking trail, or a sport I’ve never tried—don't hesitate to reach out. If you are in Calgary and want to grab a coffee (I know a good place!) or hit the mountains, let's make it happen!
