JJ Keith
Front-end Developer (she/her)
Hiya! In 2016, I completed an immersive web development program and began a new career as a web developer. I was hired right out of bootcamp and have since worked at all sorts of places: big and small startups, ad agencies, consumer brands, etc. I'm happily nested at KCRW, where I'm their in-house front-end developer.
