Karen Gil, developer, designer, and infrastructure engineer

I'm a developer who also understands design and business context. Marketers sometimes pitch things devs can't build, and devs sometimes build things users can't navigate. I try to balance both so products run smoothly and make sense.

What I Bring to the Table

  • Custom Code (HTML, CSS, JS, TS, PHP): WordPress works well for simple sites, but custom code is better when you need stability, clean navigation, and fewer plugins.
  • UI/UX & Design (Figma, Adobe Suite): Since I write code, I design with technical limits in mind. This means faster prototyping and less back-and-forth fixing unbuildable layouts.
  • Performance, Analytics & SEO: Combining clean microdata, fast loading, Google Analytics, and Hotjar helps your site rank naturally and shows you where users get stuck.
  • Infrastructure & Security: Basic experience with Kubernetes, DigitalOcean, Grafana, and web security keeps forms protected and helps your site handle traffic spikes without crashing.

How I Work

Full-stack development is my core work. Design, media, or strategy are separate add-ons. I prefer clear scopes, reasonable boundaries, and straightforward communication.
