Hannah Redmond
I'm a Lead Front End Developer with 24 years of experience with a deep passion for building tools that solve real problems. With a strong academic foundation spanning computer science, education, and the sciences, I bring a unique perspective to software development — one that values clarity, usability, and the human experience behind every screen.
Dev Garden is my open-source collection of developer tools — VS Code extensions, Chrome extensions, and Git utilities — all built with the same philosophy: cultivate clarity, get to the root faster, and never add bloat where simplicity works.
When I'm not writing code, you'll find me allotmenteering and growing vegetables, coaching tennis (I'm a Level 2 certified coach), playing sports, making or listening to music, or curled up with a good book.
