Carmen Diaz

I am a Software Engineer who loves the puzzle of building scalable web applications that solve complex problems and make people's lives easier. My background is rooted in a strong backend foundation with deep experience in Ruby on Rails and API design, paired with hands-on experience in Python and Django-based systems, and modern frontend development using React, Next.js, and TypeScript.

I thrive in collaborative, distributed environments and genuinely enjoy driving technical solutions from concept through production alongside cross-functional teams. In my daily practice, I leverage AI-assisted workflows to accelerate delivery and developer velocity without compromising system integrity or code quality.

• Frontend Architecture: React, Next.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, Tailwind CSS

• Backend & System Design: Ruby on Rails, Python, Django, RESTful APIs, Microservices

• Databases & Cloud: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Supabase, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Vercel

• Third-Party Integrations & Scale: Proven experience architecting large-scale integrations (e.g., Clover POS across ~175,000 clients, Sidekiq data pipelines, healthcare APIs)

• Remote & Global Collaboration: Fully bilingual (English & Spanish) with extensive experience driving asynchronous execution across distributed US and international teams

  Beyond shipping production code, I actively invest in the developer community as a technical mentor and Women Techmakers Ambassador, helping teams scale knowledge and build reliable software together.
