# Evan Moses

> Principal Software Engineer at Okta, Inc.

Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/evanmoses

Full stack engineer with experience building large-scale web-based cloud platforms.  I have extensive experience both on the mid-tier/platform/API layer and the front end, and moderate experience in the database and devops.

I design for humans: on the front end, that means UI/UX that users can understand, in the backend it means APIs that developers and integrators can understand, and in code it means structures and systems that developers can understand.
