Kira Miller

Currently a Software Developer at Comcast (since July 2019). Graduated Colorado State University with a Computer Science Degree in 2019 (3.6 GPA), and interned at Travelport and Seagate Technology.

Hi - My name is Kira (she/her), nice to (virtually) meet you! Currently, I am living in Boston, Massachussets and have been working as a Software Developer I on the Network Data Storage team at Comcast for almost 2 years now. I'm very passionate about continuing my learning in the field of computer science, so I am taking a Full Stack developer course on LinkedIn Learning - hence the creation of this website. This page is basically a playground for me to flex my new skills. Outside of work, I spend the majority of my time volunteering, rewatching my favorite movies, and cooking New York Times recipes.

I'm currently looking for new opportunities in the Boston/Cambridge area. My ideal role is either with a non-profit orginization or a social impact enterprise that is focused on ethical tech. I enjoy contributing to a fast-paced culture that combines new technology with human empathy. I always look for projects that stretch my abilities, take me out of my comfort zone, and teach me new things.

The best way to reach me is to either connect with me on LinkedIn or email me at kiramiller155@gmail.com
