Kelly Hilbert. Frontend Developer.

MY JOURNEY

The intersection of logic and creativity has captivated me from the very beginning. During my academic years, I found it equally challenging and exhilarating to choose between pursuits like mathematics and creative writing. These seemingly opposing fascinations ultimately led me to frontend development—a field where technical expertise and artistic vision converge seamlessly. Here, I am able to craft visually compelling, user-centered websites while simultaneously honing my technical capabilities.

My journey into web development began with formal training at CareerFoundry, where I earned a Frontend Development Certificate. This program provided me with a solid foundation in coding principles and technologies, which I eagerly expanded upon through independent projects and continued learning. In September 2022, I joined the Creative Services Team at Deluxe, focusing on email development. In this role, I have been instrumental in designing the next generation of email templates, transitioning from table-based coding to a hybrid "spongy" methodology to enhance client compatibility and responsiveness. This professional journey has reinforced my belief that mastery is achieved through dedication and continuous learning. As I advance in my career, I remain committed to refining my skills and embracing new challenges.
