Location: New York, New York, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/douglasread

As a Software Engineer at Squarespace, I develop and maintain Java SpringBoot applications on the billing team in order to power different workflows like contracts, subscriptions, invoices, etc. Before Squarespace, I worked at Chewy where I developed and maintained scalable applications that enabled the quick and accurate fulfillment of orders for millions of pet parents. 

I have over 3 years of work experience as a software engineer, and have worked with many languages & technologies in an enterprise setting: Java, Python, JavaScript, SQL, AWS, GCP, Terraform, PostgreSQL, SpringBoot, Docker, React, VueJS, etc. 

I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science and Political Science from Northeastern University, where I graduated with top honors and learned valuable skills in data structures, algorithms, databases, object-oriented design, web development, statistics, and political analysis. I gravitated towards these majors because I have always had a desire to use technology to solve real-world problems and create positive social impact. I am always eager to learn new tools and frameworks that can help me achieve this goal.
