Message

At Acima, I was part of the Merchant Portal team, maintaining its Rails codebase and working on initiatives such as Kafka message pooling and migrating Grape endpoints to Rails REST controllers.

At Symplr, I modified and optimized the Ruby codebase while upgrading and maintaining application services. I also helped the team understand and change the application.

At Synack, I owned the design, architecture, database schema, and implementation of Credits Ledger, and supported other developers as a tech lead. I also wrote a Python app to maintain SendGrid email templates and worked on REST APIs and service refactoring.

Earlier, I created customer-facing services and integrated REST services at OneLogin, Inc., and built features for a legacy Rails 3 app at SerpicoDev. I like writing clean, tested, concise code, and try to do that every day.
