About Me (Alyssa Pratt)

I'm a frontend engineer with a UX-focused approach, building accessible, interactive experiences that balance visual impact with real-world constraints. I often work on cross-functional teams where clarity, usability, and adaptability matter, and I'm frequently pulled in to solve complex or undefined problems that sit between design and engineering.

I'm trusted to take on unfamiliar tools, evolving requirements, and legacy systems, and to turn them into stable, maintainable solutions. Whether a project starts messy, under-documented, or constrained by policy, my role is to bring structure, reliability, and forward momentum.

Accessibility is a core part of my decision-making, not an afterthought. I advocate for inclusive interfaces that are clear, engaging, and compliant, even when that means pushing back on trends that sacrifice usability.

My background spans a wide range of public-sector projects with strict requirements and long lifecycles, including maintaining and evolving legacy systems while planning for their future. I'm focused on roles where I can build thoughtful frontend systems that serve real users at scale.
