Kate Astrid
Senior product engineer bringing spatial logic and visual precision to frontend architecture.
Kate Astrid builds fast, complex web applications as a senior product engineer. She focuses on clean frontend architecture and product-driven development.
Before writing code, she spent a decade working in cartography, geodesy, and fashion photography. That mix of spatial logic and visual storytelling directly shapes how she structures software today.
At conferences, Kate explores how mental shortcuts impact engineering decisions. She breaks down the common cognitive biases that trick developers into underestimating complexity or choosing the wrong solutions.
