Software Engineer
Kinetic 2020-PRESENT
Wearable startup that detects high-risk postures in at-risk workforces (warehouses, deliveries, etc) and offers work-place insurance. 2 month contract role that turned into full-time role. Became sole front-end developer responsible for 100% of code shipped on the client.
- Rewrote web application from scratch using a modern client infra using Typescript and React.
- Managed complex dashboard and session state using cutting-edge atomic (Jotai) and store-based (Zustand) state managers.
- Ported hand-rolled auth system to Auth0.
- Worked with stakeholders across Engineering, Product, Customer Support, and Growth teams to set realistic deadlines and deliver value rapidly.
Software Engineer
Ride Health 2017-2020
Healthcare startup that connected patients with mobility providers based hundreds of criteria such as service level, frequency, location, prior-auth, etc. I was the second hire, and worked alongside the CTO for two years to build out the system, eventually facilitating over 1000 trips a day for patients.
- Deployed an IVR system using Twilio and Elixir, allowing patients to call in take real-time actions for rides (request, cancel, etc), fetch information (how many rides do I have coming up? when is my next ride?). The system deployed with 0 bugs and reduced our customer support team’s weekly-minutes-on-phone by over 80% within two weeks.
- Built an internal system that pinged Uber to get accurate ride estimates for different zip codes. We exported the data to BigQuery so our data team could make informed decisions about which providers could service which areas inline with our SLA’s.
- Hired and mentored team members as we grew to six full-time engineers.
Web Developer
Authorea 2016-2017
Open source text editor using Markdown, LaTeX, version control, etc to allow collaboritve writing of scientific papers. This started as a 30-day trial that turned into a full-time role. Ended up being responsible for almost all the user-facing changes (mostly CSS and React).
- Rebuilt the landing-page from scratch during my 30-day contract. This included working with a designer, optimizing images, and included carousels, a twitter feed, etc.
- Built out dozens of features for the text editor’s interface, which is similar to Microsoft Word. The editor had hundreds of options contained in different dropdown menus.
- Debugged and enhanced complex state management in Redux, which had to handle hundreds of session-level configurations for the text editor.
Web Development Intern
Oak Studios 2016
Four month web development internship straight out of a coding bootcamp. My first professional working experience (getting paid to code woohoo!)
- Provided designs for CreativeMornings Contest and tasked with building it as a static site from scratch. I also integrated the site with a CMS, giving the customer the ability to update articles and sponsorships without engineering intervention.
- Fixed issues/bugs in WorkingNotWorking. This was a huge codebase with thousands of contributors. Fixes included payment flow issues in Stripes, interactive issues with toasts/modals, etc.
