# Emily B. > Software Engineer @ Baton | Ex-Dropbox Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/emilyb As a full-stack software engineer with a passion for impact and product delivery, I bring a unique blend of skills and experiences to every project I work on. I'm looking for a role where I can continue to grow my software engineering skills while delivering impactful products to users. I have spent over a year at Dropbox delivering well-tested, impactful products, like password protection for file requests, and honing my skills in--to name a few--Python, backend frameworks, Typescript, frontend frameworks like React, and CSS. I also enjoy the collaborative nature of engineering a great product! Additionally, I've completed a couple full-stack personal projects using the MERN stack for one and React-Redux, Ruby on Rails, HTML, and CSS for the other (see project section below). Prior to my work at Dropbox, I worked as a policy advisor at the Central Bank of the Netherlands for 4 years, where I focused principally on climate-related risks and. It was there that I was introduced to the world of coding and engineering, and quickly fell in love. My experience at the bank has allowed me to bring an eye for strategy and business case to software engineering. I am excited for the next step in my career as a software engineer! ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Baton Jan 2023 – Present | San Francisco, California, United States ### Full Stack Software Engineer @ Dropbox Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 Project: Dropbox Passwords - Led a full stack project–shipped two days early–to drive Password product awareness among Dropbox Teams through a page banner, including writing a tech spec, executing on well-tested backend and frontend code, and adding logging to track metrics.
