About Kayla Gillam-Wright

I’m a software developer specializing in modern JavaScript frameworks, with a unique background that combines technical expertise with business and restaurant management experience. I recently graduated from the Web Programming program at Nova Scotia Community College (2024), and also hold credentials in Business Administration (2009) and International Business (2011). My technical skills include JavaScript, React/Next.js, PHP, and modern CSS frameworks like Tailwind and Bootstrap. I’ve built custom WordPress plugins and business websites during two successful work placements, giving me hands-on experience with real-world client projects. In the last year I have been working on expanding my skill set through:> Building React components for internal projects > Developing expertise in AI prompt engineering and GPT integration > Performing comprehensive QA testing, research, and technical documentation > Contributing to collaborative development workflows using Git > Exploring LightningJS and creating custom components > Getting hands-on with Supabase for backend development > Building practice projects with the Vercel AI SDK, OpenAI, Zod, and advanced prompt engineering techniques.
