## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ Everlaw
Jan 2024 – Present | Oakland, California, United States

### Software Engineer @ Truepill
Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 | Remote
At Truepill, I developed robust NodeJS/Typescript backend services, deployed as Docker containers orchestrated with Kubernetes on Google Cloud servers. My work there supported multiple health care verticals, including best-in-class DTC diagnostic kits, as well as (currently) an online pharmacy/OTC ecommerce platform used by Optum Health.

### Software Engineer @ Box
Jan 2018 – Jan 2020
I've been working at Box for a while as a backend developer, helping them migrate to a service-oriented architecture from a legacy PHP monolith. Currently operating as the owner of several Java microservices and leading backend development for the Admin Experience team. I helped build a tool which allows for automatic provisioning of new customers in our system, reducing what was once a several hours process to one that takes a few seconds. I've also done significant PHP work here, leading projects to address insecurities in content sharing behavior and helping with other assorted feature development and bug fixes as necessary.

### Software Engineer @ GoFundMe
Jan 2016 – Jan 2018 | Redwood City, CA
Full-stack development focused on building new user-facing community features. I built much of the front end for GoFundMe's new User Profiles feature in React 15, as well as developing the back-end business logic in PHP, Smyte API integration, and some internal customer service tools in Vue. Also worked on a push towards SOA to power community features and mobile applications, as well as managing Docker development environments for said services.

### Software Engineer @ Wheelhouse Enterprises
Jan 2015 – Jan 2016 | San Mateo, CA

### SDET Intern @ SurveyMonkey
Jan 2014 – Jan 2014 | Palo Alto, CA
Helped rewrite out-of-date and nonfunctioning test framework for survey creation page.
