Joshua Reichler

I am a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building scalable web applications, primarily in fintech and SaaS environments. I specialize in Ruby-based backend systems and React frontends, delivering reliable APIs and maintainable solutions.

Throughout my career I have optimized performance, reduced error rates, and improved system throughput—achieving measurable results like a 28% API response improvement and a 22% reduction in system errors. I focus on robust RESTful design, background job processing, and efficient database schemas.

I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to implement scalable feature enhancements, introduce structured logging and monitoring, and modernize legacy interfaces. My tooling and infrastructure experience spans AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and observability platforms.

I emphasize testing, TDD, and CI/CD to maintain high quality and reliable production systems while iterating quickly on product requirements and supporting distributed systems at scale.
