About Kayla B.
I’m Kayla - an AWS Certified Developer and full stack problem solver who loves turning data heavy ideas into secure, cloud native products. Over the past 8 years I’ve designed and shipped APIs, ETL pipelines, and microservices for healthcare, fintech, and analytics clients, working daily with Python, Django/Flask/FastAPI, React, and Kubernetes in AWS, Azure, and GCP environments. Recent wins include cutting data transfer times by 70% through an automated Glue + Redshift pipeline and using Kubernetes to simplify multi-tenant deployments for Fortune 500 clients. I’m equally passionate about people. As a part time instructor for Vanderbilt’s Data Analytics bootcamp, I guided 25 plus student cohorts through 24 week full stack programs while training TA teams and steering the rapid pivot to remote learning during COVID. Mentoring new engineers, reviewing pull requests, or coaching at Django Girls workshops keeps me learning and paying it forward. When I’m not writing code you’ll find me playing bluegrass mandolin, sketching game maps, or DM-ing collaborative stories around a Dungeons & Dragons table. Whether I’m optimizing a Kubernetes rollout or orchestrating a campaign cliff-hanger, I thrive on creativity, curiosity, and team momentum. Let’s build something great together.
