👋

Hi, I'm Corinne. I'm a full-stack Javascript engineer who enjoys writing efficient, organized code, laughing at cat pictures, and making a usable internet.

I also like problem solving tough challenges, keeping an inordinate amount of colorful sticky notes around the peripheral of my computer screen, and always thinking about the end users who will interact with my code.

If there's only one thing you should know about me, it's that I'm a fast learner. I code every day to make that happen.

What I'm Reading (Pulled from the Pocket API. Some titles may be wonky!)

Get Started with Rust, WebAssembly, and Webpack

Excerpt: "Update: The Rust compiler now has native support for compilation to WebAssembly without Emscripten! This simplifies the process significantly. I may write an updated guide soon. For now, see this page for a minimal example of Rust and WebAssembly (without Webpack)."

WebAssembly

Excerpt: "Overview Getting Started Specs Future features Community FAQ WebAssembly 1.0 has shipped in 4 major browser engines. ​Learn more WebAssembly (abbreviated Wasm) is a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine."

React Native at Airbnb: The Technology

Excerpt: "This is the second in a series of blog posts in which we outline our experience with React Native and what is next for mobile at Airbnb. React Native itself is a relatively new and fast-moving platform in the cross-section of Android, iOS, web, and cross-platform frameworks."

Font-display

Excerpt: "This is a small explainer that I built for a talk on web fonts and performance. Before we talk about what font-display is, let's talk about the lifetime of a web font."

Frank Chimero · Everything Easy is Hard Again

Excerpt: "This past summer, I gave a lecture at a web conference and afterward got into a fascinating conversation with a young digital design student. It was fun to compare where we were in our careers."

What I'm Learning

AWS and Google cloud platforms, specifically lambda functions, pipelines, DAGs, Airflow, and BigQuery
