Hannah Redmond

Lead Front End Developer
Grow insights, not confusion.

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.

Allotmenteering & Veg Growing

Hands-on cultivation of vegetables and plants — the real-world counterpart to my Dev Garden. Tending plots, composting, and growing food from seed to harvest.

Creating and listening to music — an outlet for creativity that feeds back into problem-solving and innovative thinking in development.

Reading

Avid reader across genres — fiction, non-fiction, technical, and beyond. Constant learning and expanding perspectives through the written word.
