About Me
Hi, I’m Amanda Hotchkiss.
I’m a frontend developer specializing in React and Next.js applications. I build modern, scalable web interfaces with a focus on clean component architecture, performance, and maintainable code. I’ve contributed to production retail websites and developed a full-stack e-commerce platform using Next.js (App Router), TypeScript, Supabase, and Stripe. I translate business requirements into intuitive user experiences and structured, reliable frontend systems.
Technical Background
My experience spans both enterprise and independent projects. In a corporate environment, I contributed to high-traffic marketing and product pages while assisting in a migration from WordPress to a modern Next.js + TypeScript stack.
Independently, I’ve built:
- A full-stack e-commerce platform with authentication, relational data modeling, and secure payments
- API-driven React applications with controlled state and conditional rendering
- JavaScript tools leveraging browser APIs, asynchronous logic, and DOM event systems
My current focus is strengthening React architecture, scalable UI patterns, and frontend performance optimization.

Outside of Work
I’m originally from California and enjoy being outdoors when I can, especially kayaking and coastal travel. Maintaining balance outside of development helps me stay focused and creative in my technical work.
