Hi, I'm Crystal Parker, a Full Stack Engineer with experience building scalable, high-quality software. In January 2025, I began my role as an Associate Software Engineer at Level Access, where I contribute to developing accessible, cutting-edge technology using the MEAN stack (MongoDB, Express, Angular, Node.js). My work focuses on ensuring digital platforms are inclusive for everyone.
Previously, I worked for the web3 company Koii Network, where I expanded my skills and contributed to innovative projects. My technical toolkit includes JavaScript, HTML5, React, NodeJS, MongoDB, SQL, Python, C#, Docker, AWS, Oracle, and more.
I graduated with a Bachelor's in Computer Science with Honours and a minor in Biology from Dalhousie University (May 2024). My honors project, guided by Professor Nur Zincir-Heywood, explored the fascinating intersection of Mobile Gaming and Security. During this time, I also completed the ICTC Cybersecurity Training and Work Integrated Learning program, further enhancing my expertise.
I've honed my HTML5 skills by participating in JS13kgames, developing multiple HTML5 games, and completing websites using Flask and Django frameworks. In the past I collaborated on a 3D game using C#, Blender, and Unity, and worked with a senior web developer on an HTML5 JavaScript game integrated with the NEAR protocol.
Beyond coding, I have a variety of interests. I built my own skin-on-frame canoe with my father, enjoy hiking and camping with my vintage trailer, and love skateboarding. I also have an antique car, a 1953 Hudson Jet, as a hobby. Additionally, I'm an artist, having done portrait commissions and had paintings exhibited in a gallery.
Let's connect and create something amazing together!
