# Eric Markunas > Senior Software Engineer Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/ericmarkunas Experienced software engineering team lead specializing in front-end development for web applications in marketing cloud services and healthcare. With eight years of full stack expertise. My journey has been shaped by overcoming the challenges of a first generation college student. Through hard work, determination, and the guidance of amazing mentors, I achieved my dream to graduate from MIT. This instilled in me a deep appreciation for the value of education and the importance of helping break barriers. As a proponent for user-centered design, I advocate for solutions that prioritize the needs and experiences of users. I firmly believe in the power of collaboration and the inclusion of diverse perspectives to drive innovation. Having worked in global and remote-only environments, I excel at fostering trust and open communication in cross-functional teams. Additionally, I am a strong advocate for thorough and scalable systems documentation. I understand the critical role it plays in ensuring alignment, smooth knowledge transfer, and long-term sustainability of projects. Outside of work I find joy in connecting with others. On weekends you'll likely find me exploring serene waters on a kayak with my partner, honing my Spanish language skills, unwinding with video games, or dedicating my time to volunteering for education and mental health related causes. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ Astrana Health Jan 2023 – Present ### Senior Software Engineer @ NimbleRx Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 • Orchestrated product delivery lifecycle and facilitated cross-functional stakeholder communication for projects across the business as a Team Lead • Spearheaded initiatives from concept to delivery as a product and web engineering domain expert for pharmacist and patient applications • Led the technical aspects of pharmacist product redesign and numerous 3rd party technical, product, and business integrations • Streamlined React applications by eliminating complex redux dependencies, integrating them with the UX design language, upgrading legacy React, JavaScript, and web code/conventions, and breaking down monolithic files into smaller, shareable, component-based code • Proactively acquired and shared extensive knowledge in backend, database, data metrics, business, and operations domains • Pioneered front-end team sync-ups to foster knowledge sharing, discuss tech innovations, align on best practices, and mitigate information silos • Developed and guided the team in creating concise technical design specifications, comprehensive manual test plans, effective unit tests, and rigorous code reviews • Championed interviewing, onboarding, coaching and mentoring new hires; grew team from 6 to 20 • Cultivated a collaborative, productive, and empathetic team environment ### Software Engineer @ NimbleRx Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 ### Senior Software Engineer @ Oracle Jan 2018 – Jan 2020 | San Francisco Bay Area • Security point of contact for client applications org-wide; Triaged issues and led efforts for compliance and testing • Provided engineering expertise in a cross-disciplinary global Agile Scrum team • Contributed to a large framework and core application for a cloud-based email and mobile marketing platform • Led migration of new JS framework and first team adoption of internal low-code application builder • Mentored and trained junior UI developers in code standards, application knowledge, and UI development • Innovated on application usability by driving the use of animation and UI microinteraction • Organized and participated in two internal hackathons ### Software Engineer II @ Oracle Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 | San Francisco Bay Area • Upgraded JavaScript frameworks for applications from Ext JS 3 & 4.2 to Ext JS 6 ### Software Engineer @ Oracle Jan 2015 – Jan 2017 | San Francisco Bay Area ### Software Engineering Intern @ Johnson & Johnson Jan 2014 – Jan 2014 • Created a social media website using Twitter API, resulted in reduced outsourcing costs • Analyzed and documented the efficacy of a proof-of-concept algorithm central to an application • Designed and analyzed a relational database schema for an extensive set of user health data • Regularly presented technical material to a multidisciplinary leadership team • Software Development, System Testing, and Evaluation within Agile Scrum Teams ### Software Development Intern @ Vecna Jan 2013 – Jan 2013 • Designed, programmed and tested a lightweight web framework employing Ruby and Sinatra • Implemented a new system to identify active products, saving in immediate maintenance costs • Reviewed and contributed to design decisions of a program for use in a larger software framework • Increased the performance speed of existing database queries • Coordinated with a team using Github and proprietary version control ### Software Systems Intern @ Vecna Jan 2012 – Jan 2012 • Developed a new software script that was used company-wide to troubleshoot network issues • Evaluated various design decisions, implemented in Perl employing open-source libraries • Reduced the average Quality Assurance troubleshooting calls related to networking ## Education ### Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Computer Science Massachusetts Institute of Technology Jan 2010 – Jan 2015 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/eric-markunas --- Source: https://flows.cv/ericmarkunas JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/ericmarkunas/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-22
