As a founding engineer, your role will be broad, impactful and occasionally intense - and that's how I'd describe working at Addition Wealth. As a Staff engineer, I've been responsible for major system features that would often be built by teams of people at larger companies - notably, integrations with Carta and Shareworks as well as cloud architecture overhaul. I was also the lead on getting our tech organization SOC2 compliant and designed our entire technical hiring pipeline.

As of September 2022, I was promoted to interim manager of the technical team. I am now responsible for career pathing, performance evaluation and project management within the team.

At Finix I was a member of the processing team, our duties were to absorb and parse files from payment processors and then report on the movement of money and calculate fees. This was the most important piece of the company's technology flow as it made it so our customers actually got paid.

My duties involved api optimizations, security updates and feature development. As the heart of the Finix ecosystem, the processing team's impact reached across nearly every technical team. I was also involved in the design of a flexible billing system wherein our customers could dynamically create rules for nearly any interaction in our system and apply fees or credits accordingly.

At Centsibly, I was responsible for replacing the departing technical co-founder and sole technical employee. As in any small team, I am doing a variety of tasks and wearing a number of hats. Currently, I am driving a pivot of our product to a service that will use our existing application as a companion app.

At Square I was part of the Capital Engineering Identities team. We were responsibly for making our antiquated Ruby monolith GDPR/CCPA compliant and well as migrating Entity/Identity-Related data out of the database/system and in to a new sub-service as:

1) MySql Database that drives the entire Capital system was hitting its storage limit

2) We needed make further government-based data compliance implementations easier.

3) The system that was previously doing entity/identity related screening was going offline for good.
