Tripepi Smith is pleased to welcome Kathleen Mercado to the team as its newest Junior Web Developer on July 28. Kathleen brings a strong foundation in web development, UX design and CMS integration.
“I’m thrilled to be part of the Tripepi Smith team,” said Kathleen. “What really stands out is how this team approaches innovation and communication, not just as buzzwords, but as core values in everything they do. I look forward to contributing to projects that promote community engagement and create meaningful impact.”
Kathleen began her career in healthcare as a licensed physical therapist, developing analytical skills, cross-functional collaboration and a strategic focus on user-centric solutions. After completing Per Scholas’ Software Engineering Immersive Program, she transitioned into technology and began working as a web developer. Her experience includes leading front-end development for new product launches, creating responsive and user-friendly websites and developing internal tools to streamline e-commerce workflows. She also has experience in client-focused WordPress development and technical support.
Kathleen’s multidisciplinary background enables her to deliver solutions that are intuitive, scalable and purpose-driven. She holds undergraduate and graduate degrees from Northeastern University in Boston.
“Kathleen’s blend of technical skill, solution-oriented thinking and adaptability makes her an excellent fit for Tripepi Smith,” said President Ryder Todd Smith. “As demand for web services continues to grow significantly, her background and skill set will bring a fresh, thoughtful perspective to our web team.
