Cristine
Baumgarten
Front-end Engineer, Designer
Hello, I'm Cristine!
Thanks for being here!
I’m a Design Engineer / Senior UI Engineer—I make interfaces look right, feel right, and work right.
I translate wireframes and requirements into responsive, accessible UI, and I don’t stop at the visuals—I carry it through to production code with clean architecture and sharp interaction details.
I’ve shipped web applications across public sector, aerospace/defense, consumer finance, and startups, including proposal and product efforts through Venus Development (LLC).
My work covers the full front end: component systems, application state, accessibility, and connected screens that hold up under real data and real complexity.
I work across silos without friction—aligning UX, product, and engineering so decisions stick and execution stays clean.
U.S. government cleared (Department of the Interior); previously held a Top Secret DoD clearance.
