Welcome to Kaitlyn Clements' Portfolio
Hi, I’m Kaitlyn! A Computer Science senior passionate about developing solutions that intertwine technology and business.
Explore my projects, skills, experiences, and interests as I prepare for future opportunities.
About Me
I am originally from Chicago, IL, and currently a senior at the University of Kansas, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a minor in Business and a certificate in Cybersecurity, graduating in May 2025.
At the University of Kansas, I've had the privilege of serving on both the executive and non-executive boards of my sorority, Alpha Chi Omega (Phi chapter), as the Vice President of Risk Management and Senior Member Experience Chair. In these roles, I honed in on my strong organizational and teamwork skills while leading impactful initiatives for our chapter of over 250 members.
My academic and professional passions include project management, data analysis, and software development. I thrive on creating innovative solutions that seamlessly integrate technology and business goals. Whether it's developing web applications, analyzing data trends, or leading collaborative projects, I'm driven by the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
I develop all of my long-term and team-based projects using Agile Scrum methodology, participating in sprint planning, weekly standups, and iterative delivery. I work with user stories, prioritize a product backlog, and use sprint-based planning with story point estimation to ensure timely, functional releases.
I'm actively seeking opportunities to grow as a professional in roles that combine technical problem-solving and collaboration. I'm excited to pursue new graduate opportunities starting in Summer or Fall 2025, where I can contribute to innovative projects and continue developing my skills.
Let's connect—I’d love to share more about my work and aspirations!
