Kathleen Malone
Full-stack development/.NET and Angular/QA engineering
I work across the stack in C#, TypeScript, Python, and SQL, building web applications, internal tools, and automation. My background in QA and product work means I tend to look beyond whether something works. I care whether it's maintainable, testable, understandable, and actually useful to the people who need it.
Mine, start to finish. The source is linked on every one.
Flagship project
A self-hosted catalog for a DRM-free ebook library. It indexes files in storage you already pay for instead of charging you to keep a second copy. Six ASP.NET Core services behind an Angular front end.
Tooling
A desktop tool that automates the mechanical half of my QA work. SCORM package analysis, WordPress upkeep, and Playwright regression runs, all behind one Qt interface.
Tooling
Turns an EPUB into a chaptered m4b with a local neural voice. I kept it out of MyBooks on purpose, because generating derivative works from other people's files is a different risk to run.
Games
A single-player RPG that looks like a real table. The rules engine is pure C# and never references Godot, the physics dice get checked for fairness with chi-squared, and localization was there from the first commit.
Built for an employer, so there's no code here to view. I can still tell you what I owned and what shipped.
Architect and full-stack developer
A multi-tenant phishing simulation platform on ASP.NET Core and Angular. I architected it, and it went well past the gophish port it started from, adding recurring campaigns, live editing, template pools, and LMS integration, with the credential capture deliberately removed.
Sole developer, end to end
Turns documents, video, and a quiz into a SCORM package. Built for our customers' LMS administrators, who may not know what SCORM is and shouldn't have to.
Localization engine design and refactor
Replaced thirty-odd translation functions and twenty naming conventions with one localization engine, plus the standards and documentation that keep it that way.
Subject matter expert and content writer
Branching security scenarios where the learner picks a response and sees the consequence, including the plausible wrong answers that fail for reasons you wouldn't guess.
I started as an administrative assistant to an IT director and quickly moved to help desk. I then went to a product support role and learned the stack on my own time, by building MyBooks by myself. I'm looking for full-stack work, remote.
