Debbie Rogina

Full-Stack Developer

Frontend-leaning engineer crafting polished, scalable user experiences end-to-end.

About Me

I'm a frontend-focused full-stack engineer with 15 years of experience building intuitive, scalable web apps. I love working with modern tools like React, TypeScript, and GraphQL to create clean, responsive interfaces, but I'm just as comfortable diving into backend code when needed. I care a lot about good design, thoughtful UX, and writing code that's easy to maintain. I've led projects, mentored teammates, and enjoy working closely with product and design to ship features that actually make a difference. I'm fast, curious, and take pride in building software that feels good to use.

When I'm not coding, you'll likely find me living my best life in beautiful Maine with my husband, our one-year-old, and one very opinionated cat.
