I’m Aimee Knight, a former figure skater and software architect. In addition to my day to day work, I’m open to offering mentorship and consulting on projects. I’m eager to explore how I can assist you in conventional ways or contribute on a volunteer basis for suitable projects or individual situations. Feel free to get in touch, and let’s discuss how I can be of help!

Coming from a background in collegiate sports I’m highly driven. After my first degree, I spent a lot of time working with developers and in late 2012 my career path began to diverge. When a developer for my employer’s site handed off their CMS to me saying “don’t touch anything outside of this” my fate was sealed. My curiosity, coupled with increasing frustrations from the surmounting code changes we were always needing, led me on a path of no return. I started to stay up really late so I could work on the site while (hopefully) no one was looking. Within a few weeks I was hooked.

Outside of work, I’m a Google Developer Expert for Web Technologies focused on performance, an Organizer for DevOpsDays Nashville, and a panelist on the JavaScript Jabber podcast. Before that I was a panelist on the Angular Air podcasts, volunteer at Baltimore NodeSchool and co-organizer for CharmCityJS. I’m a type A personality, and I’m not at peace, unless I have a set of challenges in front of me. As a former bootcamper, I also really enjoy mentoring current students and other junior developers.
