Software Development Engineer 2 focused on high-performance React/Next.js and robust TypeScript backends.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Software Development Engineer 2 who enjoys owning features end to end—designing the UX flow, building the APIs, and sweating performance until the numbers improve. At Intuit, I extended the shopping cart with tiered pricing, overage fee computation, and dependent resource calculations to onboard Mailchimp into Intuit’s sales channel, projected to drive $4M in new MRR, and I built an internal AI-assisted tool that helped cut new-product onboarding from about a week to about a day.
Previously, at Novastro, I owned a consumer prediction app and mentored engineers while building the round lifecycle, live price feeds, and balance-based prediction flows for 5.5K monthly active users and 57K+ registered users. I’ve also improved GraphQL API performance (eliminating N+1 patterns with DataLoader), boosted frontend performance and quality (SSR, code-splitting, improved LCP and Lighthouse scores), and shipped developer-facing assets like a TypeScript SDK used by 8 external partners.
