Frontend Developer
Building sites that
still work
years later
I design and build responsive websites across CMS and MVC stacks — from ExpressionEngine to WordPress to React — with an eye for detail that holds up over time.
Based in Denver
Hi, I'm Maria Killian
Denver-based frontend developer with a track record of shipping sites that hold up — literally, some of my earliest work is still live and unchanged five years later. I've built across ExpressionEngine, WordPress, and React, with backend chops in Rails and Laravel. Currently open to contract work and full-time roles alike.
