Hey there! I'm Kyle Lemire. I love to build accessible software with React.
💜 ⚛️

I have been a front end engineer for over 5 years, and in that time I have found a passion for the human side of software. I feel most at-home when I am teaching another developer a subject I am excited about or testing UI components to make sure they are accessible to users of any ability.

Think we could work together?
