# Aria Lopez > Backend/Fullstack Engineer Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/arialopez https://www.arialopez.com Hi! I am a Full Stack Engineer passionate about working on mission-driven teams of any size. I like to work on teams that are collaborative and open to challenging each others ideas to ensure the best product is put out for our end users. I have experience working on early-stage teams with fast pace development needs with sometimes abstract or changing project requirements and find I strive in these environments. A good amount of my experience leans towards the back-end and infrastructure. however I don't shy away from front-end or picking up a new technology. Some of the technologies I am most comfortable with are: Node.JS, Express, JavaScript, TypeScript, Vue.JS, React.JS, SQL, Redis, CI/CD pipelines, Python, Docker, and Testing libraries(mainly jest), Golang ## Work Experience ### Full Stack Engineer @ Trans Formations Project Inc Jan 2023 – Present ### Software Engineer II @ Pando Jan 2022 – Jan 2024 | San Francisco Bay Area Worked primarily as a Backend engineer learning a myraid of new things and worked in many areas of the app, with an absolutely wonderful team! Some areas I worked on: - All things PostgreSQL, I wrote lots of queries and really honed my SQL expertise here. Our Node API is really a middleware layer to our DB and so most of the data shaping was done directly within the queries. - Infrastructure, I set up our initial CI/CD pipeline and added some internal scripts throughout the time here to improve the pipeline and dev experience. I also set up a few CRON jobs to service some of our other services and internal tooling. - Data migrations/refactors, I worked on a number of projects where old data was migrated into new tables to support the needs of new features, or to refactor how old features interacted with the data. - API, I did a lot of work on our API methods, most of them just communicating with our DB but some providing a more sophisticated middleware between the two. ### Full Stack Engineer @ Personal Projects Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 Allows a user to not only shorten a link but help the LGTBQ+ community while doing so.
