About

Kattni Hello! I'm called Kattni. I am a creator, mentor, maker, photographer, programmer, one-time gardener, intermittent chef, a loved wife. Perhaps most importantly, I am tolerated by two cats who continue to let me live with them.

I am deeply passionate about learning new things and sharing my knowledge with others in an approachable way. I recently left my job of five years to pursue my passions full time.

Previous Education and Professional Experience

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Oakland University in Rochester, MI. I worked for the School of Engineering and Computer Science while attending university, as a network and system administrator. Beyond university, I have worked a variety of jobs including freelance photography, a Genius for Apple, a caseworker for Community Mental Health, a nanny, an IT Generalist, and a dialysis technician. I spent much of the time in between those jobs trying to figure out what to do next. From 2018 to 2023, I was sponsored by Adafruit Industries as a Creative Engineer to work on the CircuitPython project, including open source community leadership, technical writing, library management, contributor coordination, and embedded software development and hardware design.
