What I'm looking for
I'm an experienced Full Stack Engineer with over a decade of expertise in developing scalable web applications, primarily using Ruby on Rails. My journey in technology has equipped me with a robust skill set in designing RESTful APIs, optimizing databases, and managing cloud infrastructure. I take pride in my ability to implement microservices and performance tuning, ensuring that the software solutions I deliver are not only high-quality but also efficient and reliable.
Throughout my career, I have led engineering teams, mentored junior developers, and conducted thorough code reviews to uphold best practices. My recent role at Upgrade involved designing and implementing a scalable microservices architecture, which significantly reduced latency and improved application performance. I have a strong background in integrating third-party APIs and services, establishing CI/CD pipelines, and conducting security audits to safeguard applications. I thrive in collaborative environments, aligning technical solutions with business goals to drive success.
