Katherine Rinas
Project Manager

I am a board certified Medical Laboratory Scientist turned website developer turned project manager who also teaches sailing.

About Me

I am a life long learner and a quick study.

Developing With a Passion While Exploring The World.


As a Software Project Manager with 5 years of experience, I alchemize stress into solutions through process implementation. I coordinate communication across multiple teams who deliver products on time, on (or under) budget.

I enjoy learning about AI in my spare time. I am currently learning the basics of Python and Swift.

My previous background is in Medical Laboratory Science, where I was able to hone my ability to quickly and accurately problem solve, which ultimately lead me to my current passion for coordinating projects. I am an ASA certified sailing instructor and teach keelboat sailing.

She kept everything running smoothly, communicated really well with both technical and non-technical teams without overcomplicating things. She fit right in with the company culture and even led a company-wide pop culture presentation. 

Brian Gaines

She has an “X” factor – she isn’t afraid to step beyond her assigned role for a project. While serving as a project manager, she contributed as a UX strategist, UX writer, and copywriter. Katie’s passion for her work beyond her assigned role makes her an invaluable team player.

She never ceased to impress me with her desire to always learn more and strive to continuously push her knowledge to new heights. Her dedication and passion is apparent throughout every project she works on.
