Lead Software Engineer
  • Product Engineer: I write code that human users see and interact with. TypeScript and Vue 3 on the front end. Ruby on Rails on the back end. I work closely with the Product and Design teams to come up with innovative solutions to user needs. My strong technical background allows me to make confident estimations, and my love of usability makes our products a joy to use.
  • Delivers Value Quickly: I receive a business need from the Product team, and I solve that need quickly. Breaking a complex task into small and achievable steps is second nature to me. This allows the team to make continual progress, even as we refine our exact requirements.
  • Engineering Leader: quality code depends on a quality team. I champion diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEI+B) initiatives and fostered team cohesion through effective leadership. I demonstrate a commitment to enhancing company-wide documentation, and actively contribute to discussions on process and cultural improvements.
