# Cristian Salas > Software Engineer / SDE Location: Boston, Massachusetts, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/cristiansalas Hey! I’m Cristian and I enjoy giving back to the minority communities and mentoring underprivileged students. Specialize in designing, and creating, SaaS, with a focus on making an impact on both the bottom line of the company, and enhancing the customer's experience as much as possible, regardless of their background knowledge and capabilities. Coming from the ground up, as an immigrant, I have been able to experience the consequences of technology not being accessible to many different communities for a positive impact, let alone being accessible to those with disabilities. I want to change that. Throughout my career, so far, I have been able to slowly help abolish this issue more and more with small contributions, but is never enough. My mission is to continue contributing to projects that can make that change. There is no better way of knowing what problems exist, and how to bring light to them, other than having experienced it/being part of it. 🛠️Some of my responsibilities include: • Supervise and ship products and services by driving development and design decisions, vision, roadmap, and execution. • Worked with teams to re-structure legacy code. • Rebranded products and website for more accessible UX. I drive to become a better version of myself each and every day to become not only a great leader but an ideal team player. Creating an impact one step at a time. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ BitSight Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 | Boston, Massachusetts, United States • Lead developer and design teams in an Agile environment to deliver on-demand software solutions that meet requirements across every team, and partnership companies collaborating with the company. • Implemented Front-end features such as new report dashboards, and transforming design specifications with a focus on responsive and accessible design. • Lead and supervise documentation of development projects using new, and legacy technologies, for the developer team. • Improved overall experiences across developers' teams and designers by revitalizing and optimizing internal tools. • Advocating for accessible mentorship for new Junior developers.
