Hi! Most of my professional experiences are with startups in different industries, except for my first job as an information security engineer at a big security tech firm. My startup experience revolved around touching many different aspects of software development and engineering as early as my first year as a professional.
I've worked in clothing merch manufacturing (like Amazon Merch) as an engineer for both internal and customer-facing systems, dealing with microservices, and code abstraction, migration and refactoring (as far as Scala 2.6 to 2.12). I've also worked on desktop development, specifically for Mac via Python + pyobjc + py2exe, solving persistent regression bugs and breaking changes that Apple OS updates are notorious for. Lastly, I've worked as a DevOps engineer (contractor) for one of the current tech giants, maintaining infrastructure and building pipelines for different in-house teams.
Overall, I specialize in backend engineering, with a systems approach to software engineering through the breadth of my professional experiences.
