About Ann-Marie Kemp

I’m a full stack software developer with a frontend focus and 5+ years of experience building cross-platform applications in React and React Native. I\'m currently a contractor with Apex Systems, where I work with Centene to develop React Native applications supporting their health insurance marketplace products.Previously, I worked in the CIO organization at IBM, building internal tools to improve IBMer productivity. I led development on a React Native app companion to IBM’s internal homepage, and contributed to multiple iterations of the homepage itself using React and Vue. I also helped architect and maintain a GraphQL layer unifying over 20 internal services to streamline API performance and frontend integration.I bring experience across the full development lifecycle including working with micro-frontend architectures, accessibility compliance, analytics instrumentation, and CI/CD automation. I’ve served in technical leadership roles, led cross-team coordination efforts, and enjoy mentoring and supporting my teammates.Before entering tech, I worked in NYC’s off-Broadway theater scene as a sound engineer and technician.
