Renee Balmert

Software Engineer
github: tremlab | linkedin.com


Renee is a software engineer eager to contribute and learn on a dynamic team. She has a long history of actively seeking out technology solutions for her team. She volunteered, outside her role, to completely redesign the CRM of a robust private equity firm, which revolutionized investment tracking for her team and became an integral part of year-end assessments. At the same time, she built their first website by teaching herself basic web design. She loves SQL, but it was the study of JavaScript that triggered an incurable programming addiction and landed her at a coding bootcamp. She now has two solo full-stack web apps under her belt and is excited to unleash her powers on a new project.
