Georgia Kirkpatrick

Hi. I'm Georgia! I’m a full-stack software engineer who has specialized in managing sustainability-focused e-commerce websites over the last four years because I believe consumers have the power to improve our world through thoughtful purchasing. Prior to that I spent 10 years in brand and marketing management at mission-driven fashion and food companies. I have worked with founders and international supply partners to deliver engaging experiences and innovative products. I’m looking to transition into a website management role where I can use my strategic planning and software engineering skills to drive economic growth and environmental conservation.

Projects

Veronaut

An online shopping resource that highlights supply-chain transparency for fashion products. Solo project.

Veronaut was created in 2020 as the capstone project for my Bloc (now Thinkful) Full-Stack Engineering bootcamp. The requirements for my capstone project were to create a responsive, full-stack app using React.js, CSS, Node.js, Express, and PostgreSQL. This was a solo project which I completed with occasional help from a mentor.

The early vision of this app resulted from my professional background. Before I joined a software engineering bootcamp, I earned a biology degree with a focus on environmental conservation and additional studies in economics, conducted research of smallholder cotton farms in Peru, and founded a mission-based clothing brand, Silvania. My background in the fashion industry, as well as my personal experience shopping for clothes, has led me to see that finding sustainably-made clothing as a consumer is unnecessarily cumbersome.

Chivolo

A kids' video app that features shows with racially-diverse main characters.

Chivolo was created in 2019 as project for my Bloc (now Thinkful) Full-Stack Engineering bootcamp. The requirements for the project were to create a responsive app using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JQuery, and a public API of my choice. I chose to use the YouTube Data API. This was a solo project which I completed with occasional help from a mentor.

In 2019, my then-four-years-old stepdaughter's favorite app was the YouTube Kids app. I regularly reviewed my stepdaughter's viewing history on the app to see what kinds of content she had seen. I found that very few videos in the app featured characters of color. When characters of color were present, they were often secondary characters who merely supported the main character's story line.

In response, I created a video app for kids, like YouTube Kids, with videos that star characters of color. I sourced content from the YouTube Data API to provide kids with videos that center BIPOC characters. I hope Chivolo acts as a complement to white-main-character-dominated video apps like YouTube Kids to help children form positive associations with people of all races.

What Are You Wearing?

A multiple-choice quiz. The first thing I coded from scratch.

"What Are You Wearing?" was created in 2019 as project for my Bloc (now Thinkful) Full-Stack Engineering bootcamp. The requirements for the project were to create a responsive quiz using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and JQuery. This was a solo project which I completed with occasional help from a mentor.

I drew on my professional background to create this quiz. Before I joined a software engineering bootcamp, I earned a biology degree with a focus on environmental conservation and additional studies in economics, conducted research of smallholder cotton farms in Peru, and founded a mission-based clothing brand, Silvania. My background in the fashion industry and interest in sustainability shaped the content of this quiz.
