I am a software developer, musician, and teacher. I wrote my first computer program - a text based quiz in BASIC - when I was in junior high, but then turned my energies toward a performing career in music. All the while I kept coding on the side, building and maintaining websites for musical ensembles and small businesses. As a freelance soprano I've sung with ensembles across the US and been nominated for a Grammy award. This past summer I completed the intensive 8-week code immersion course at Tech Talent South, learning to make web apps with Ruby on Rails. I love designing and building apps, and I'm excited to apply my creativity and problem-solving skills to software development.
A singer “who thoroughly captures the imagination,” soprano Kathryn Mueller has appeared with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, American Bach Soloists, Pacific Symphony, Portland Baroque Orchestra, Santa Fe Pro Musica, and Eastern Music Festival. Honors include a GRAMMY nomination for True Concord’s Far in the Heavens, and prizes from the Oratorio Society of New York's Solo Competition and Early Music America's Baroque Performance Competition. She was a vocal fellow at the Carmel Bach Festival and a soloist on Seraphic Fire’s best-selling Monteverdi Vespers of 1610.
