About me
Hello! I'm Lila Karpowicz, a web developer.
In a past life, I worked as a medical ethics professional, but fell in love with programming when I picked it up as a hobby in 2017.
I have since completed a web development bootcamp, worked as a tech support rep, and am now a developer. These days I work mainly with React, Typescript, and Go. Statically-typed languages are my favorite.
What I love about development is getting in the zone, learning, and facing new challenges everyday. I have great attention to detail and a knack for creating user-friendly experiences.
I took a sabbatical in 2022 to move to Portugal, study Portuguese, host refugees, and plan a house remodel.
