Hey, I'm Kortney. I'm a Software Engineer at PagerDuty, building full-stack features in React/TypeScript and Elixir. On the side I design and build for the web — whether that's a production-grade marketing site and storefront for a creator, or a full-stack web application from the ground up. Architecture-first, AI-accelerated, built to last.
About Me
After earning my degree in Information Technology, I started out as a TIBCO developer at Synovus Financial Corp, then spent time as a fullstack developer at Aspirion before moving into product engineering at PrizePicks. At doxo I owned and scaled APIs powering 10M+ subscriptions, then shipped Go microservices on a focused contract at U.S. Bank. Today I'm a Software Engineer at PagerDuty, building full-stack features in React/TypeScript and Elixir on the Product Strategy & Growth team.
I work architecture-first and AI-accelerated. I use modern tooling to move fast, but I care about the shape of the system underneath: observability, CI/CD, resilience, and the boring fundamentals that keep software alive in production. I'm comfortable across Elixir, Go, Ruby on Rails, React, and TypeScript, and I've spent most of my career close to the systems that actually carry load.
On the side, I build for creators and small businesses: headless commerce, production-grade marketing sites, and full-stack web applications from the ground up. What makes it different is the same production engineering discipline I use at work: tests in CI, performance budgets, real CSPs, observability. Brought to projects that are usually handed templates. Not fancier, just built to last.
My Projects
AllieCat Cosplay
Production-grade headless storefront and portfolio site for a creator-led cosplay brand, replacing a legacy Squarespace site with a custom stack built for performance, SEO, and editorial quality.
- Headless Shopify commerce with live YouTube and Twitch integrations
- Git-based Decap CMS with GitHub OAuth for client-side edits
- Graceful degradation so no external service can hard-fail the site
- Production observability, monitoring, and analytics: Sentry, GoatCounter, Lighthouse and bundle budgets, and a Playwright E2E suite in CI
First Crack
Specialty coffee shop and roaster discovery platform for the Southeast US, with map-driven exploration and community-driven data. Built with a focus on quality over quantity.
- Elixir/Phoenix backend with Oban background jobs
- PostgreSQL + PostGIS for geospatial search
- React/TypeScript frontend with Mapbox GL JS
- Claude Haiku-powered submission moderator worker for community-contributed data
- Deployed on Fly.io with multi-region readiness in mind
