# Chase Blokker > Full Stack Software Engineer Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/chaseblokker I'm a systems, platform, and product thinker who solves complex problems by blending code with creativity. With a product-driven, entrepreneurial mindset, I build scalable, high-performant web apps & APIs using Rails/Django, Postgres, Redis, and React. I believe in shipping early and often, keeping things simple, holding strong opinions loosely, and always thinking from the user's perspective. I've helped startups launch MVPs, modernized legacy systems at publicly traded companies, and scale products users love. But most importantly, I'm a storyteller, sailor, and comedian. ## Work Experience ### Senior Full Stack Software Engineer @ NYSE Jan 2025 – Present ### Senior Software Engineer @ BARK Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 Instrumental in consolidating four brand offerings into a single commerce experience, redesigning backend checkout, cart, order, inventory, and subscription flows using event-driven workflows with RabbitMQ and Sidekiq, integrating CommerceTools with existing Recurly subscription systems to reduce churn and enable scalable multi-product expansion and pricing experimentation. ### Software Engineer III @ Whistle Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 Instrumental in the launch of Whistle’s health-reporting feature, ingesting 9B+ minutes of pet telemetry across 500k+ devices, powering behavioral analytics through scheduled upserts and materialized views, exposed via client-agnostic APIs consumed by iOS, Android, and internal systems in close collaboration with product, mobile, data science, and firmware teams. ### Software Engineer II @ Whistle Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 Built D3.js activity visualizations, implemented Sidekiq-backed, CRON-scheduled workflows for ingestion, reminders, and multi-channel notifications (Twilio SMS, SendGrid email); participated in on-call rotations resolving production incidents, contributed to monolith modernization via a Rails dual-boot upgrade strategy. ### Full Stack Software Engineer @ Montainer Jan 2016 – Jan 2017 • Owned the entire engineering stack as the sole developer, building a stepwise payment system (Stripe ACH) and interactive “Design Studio” for custom home plans using Rails, Postgres, Redis, React, and ActionCable. • Extended Google Maps API for interactive floor-plan overlays and aggregated Zillow API + web-scraped property data to power a “Property Check” feature supporting targeted sales workflows. ### Fullstack Software Engineer (Engineer #5) @ Move Loot, Inc.
