Top SchoolEmily Ansell is a full-stack software engineer with nine years of experience building accessible, user-focused tools across education, payments, and flood forecasting domains. She has shipped editor tooling and accessibility features at Prodigy Education, led front-end design and React/TypeScript work at Paymentus, and developed forecasting tools at McMaster University, combining back-end Java and SQL expertise with thoughtful UX. Emily brings a service-oriented mindset rooted in earlier retail and ReStore roles, which motivates her to design software that genuinely helps people. Comfortable bridging roles—from debugging APIs to owning a web app’s UX—she documents and surfaces future improvements for cross-team collaboration. Based in Old Toronto, she pairs practical engineering with a consistent focus on accessibility and real-world impact. An odd but telling detail: she finds retail customer service deeply rewarding, which informs her empathy-driven approach to product design.
