Ben Anthony
@benanthony
Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in Ruby on Rails and TypeScript, focused on scalable web applications and performance.
What I'm looking for
I am a Full-Stack Engineer with three years of experience building scalable web applications using Ruby on Rails and TypeScript. I solve complex problems through collaboration and code optimization.
At a prior role I launched a Shopify app that increased revenue by up to $1,500 per day on average and authored a reusable React component library distributed via npm to standardize front-end work. I optimized complex ActiveRecord queries to sub-second responses for databases containing millions of records.
I maintained and enhanced a bond analysis application using C# and the .NET framework, managed microservices that aggregate external API data for predictive analytics, and developed an Angular-based trader-facing web app. I also implemented secure credential management for external APIs and built robust authentication and authorization systems including Auth0 integrations.
I am committed to continuous learning, improving application performance, and delivering reliable, maintainable systems. I enjoy collaborating with product and client stakeholders to ship features that drive measurable business value.
