Hi, I'm Kelly Jones — Frontend Web Developer & Creative Technologist

I build accessible web applications, responsive digital platforms, and interactive scientific data visualizations that translate complex research into intuitive, engaging user experiences.

Currently serving as a Frontend Web Developer at the National Laboratory of the Rockies (formerly NREL), I support a high-impact portfolio of 13 enterprise websites and 53 subsites across Sitefinity, Drupal, and WordPress. My work focuses on building responsive web applications, developing dynamic visual assets and SVG code, ensuring rigorous Section 508 accessibility compliance, and deploying scalable frontend solutions via Git, AWS, and Azure DevOps.

Prior to this, I worked with Leidos under the U.S. Antarctic Program as Web Editor, launching the South Pole station intranet on a custom ColdFusion CMS, designing public and operational web interfaces, and conducting analytics and performance optimization for polar research missions.

My multidisciplinary background unites frontend engineering, technical communication, and computational modeling. I hold a Master's in Art & Technology from the University of Oklahoma, a B.S. in English/Professional Writing (HCI/UX minor) from UNA, and am currently pursuing an M.S. in Computational Science and Engineering at Georgia Tech focusing on computational physics and scientific visualization.
