# Hans Jorgensen > Software Engineer Location: Austin, Texas, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/hansjorgensen I am a software engineer with strong problem solving and communication skills. With skills across frontend, desktop, and backend, my specialties revolve around making software shine, both in improving its function and performance; documenting it with wikis, comments, and tests; and strengthening other contributors' work on that software through design collaboration and code reviews. - I have 4 years professional experience, a Bachelor's Degree at the University of Washington, and many years hobbyist experience - Software is my passion. It's both an art and a science to me. The better part of my life has been spent learning to construct games, utilities, experiments, and professional software from the most basic of building blocks. - My strongest languages are C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Java, with some experience in C, C++, Python, Rust, and SQL. - My strongest technologies are web (HTML5, React, Mobx, CSS) and backend (Node.js, Java Spring, .NET Framework), with experience in desktop applications (WinForms, UWP, DirectX), databases (MSSQL, SQLite, MongoDB, DynamoDB), and cloud platforms (AWS). - I'm highly teachable and coachable, and am always curious. Whenever I encounter something new, I pour my energy into understanding how it works and how to best make use of it. - I place strong emphasis on code being easy to dissect and test, which both includes dilligently writing tests and using appropriate OOP and functional design patterns (such as dependency injection, immutable data, and determinism) to make testable, debuggable units. - I work hard on my own to make my software shine, but I also collaborate frequently with peers throughout the software lifecycle, in order to strengthen my decision making, overcome roadblocks, and gain new insights. I take code reviews very seriously, both my own and my peers'. - I'm very good at documenting and explaining things. This manifests in code comments, API-level comments, wikis, code reviews, presentations, 1:1 conversations, and more. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ FUTO Jan 2024 – Present | Austin, Texas, United States FUTO is a software company devoted to putting control of our computers back in the hands of the people. I work on the FUBS project, a minimal software development system that is easy to understand, modify, and extend, with an emphasis on embedded devices. My main focus is on OS- and runtime-level components, such as memory allocation and device drivers. ### Software Engineer @ Notifi Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | Washington, United States I build and maintain backend services for Notifi, a privacy-respecting messaging platform for Web3 and DeFi services. My main focus is on the security and stability of the Notifi platform, including automated controls to maintain high availability to both Notifi's systems and our messaging and blockchain API partners. ### Software Engineer @ Clusterfun Jan 2020 – Jan 2023 | Greater Seattle Area I contribute to Clusterfun, a video game website featuring HTML5/React games controlled with mobile devices. My main contributions include the communication system (utilizing Node.js, Express, and WebSockets) that keeps the player devices and central presenter in sync. I also help build and playtest the games themselves. ### Software Engineer @ Amazon Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | Seattle, Washington, United States I built and maintained backend services at Amazon Luna, utilizing agile methodology, Java, Node.js, and AWS distributed systems (with both EC2- and Lambda- based services, using IAM, SQS, SNS, S3, and DynamoDB to store data and transmit it between systems) to deliver highly available and scalable systems to enhance the customer's social and game recommendation experience. I also built and maintained backend systems for Amazon Prime Video, using the same set of skills to deliver highly scalable and reliable systems capable of serving and managing metadata for millions of unique video titles. As an item of particular interest, I was asked to mediate the addition of a quality control check in Prime Video's internal content submission systems, in order to correct errors on the front page. The team that owned the codebase that was to implement the check disagreed with it, so in the interest of objectivity, in addition to implementing the change, I also studied the deficiency in detail to figure out how much effect the check would have - while I determined that implementing it would be worthwhile, I identified that over 50% of the observed errors were due to employee error later down the submission pipeline, and saw a significant improvement in the error rate after those issues were corrected. ### Software Engineer @ Pyxis Manufacturing Corporation Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Lindon, Utah, United States I built custom production management software for Pyxis Manufacturing, a textile company that primarily produces custom-monogrammed products. The software used React, Node.JS, MongoDB, and Docker to manage inventory and order progress as well as collect data on factory efficiency. We also used AWS to manage the software's connection to remote workers, such as designers. ### Software Engineer @ Hyperproof Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Bellevue, Washington I implemented features and improvements for Hyperproof, a Web-based application that assists compliance managers and startups in compliance. This included building and improving on TypeScript and React components, adding supporting APIs to the Java Spring backend and performing database migrations in the PostgresSQL database, in order to implement new features and workflows. ### Software Engineer @ Microsoft Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | Redmond, Washington Area I wrote APIs and developer tools for Microsoft Whiteboard, a many-user collaborative workspace with both C# desktop and HTML5 Web applications. My main work involved building the HTML5 version to feature parity with the C# version, implementing end-user frontend features as well as applying quality assurance through unit and integration tests. For some items of particular interest, I refactored multiple internal APIs in order to facilitate debugging and multithreaded concurrency through decoupling/encapsulation, and I created a test harness that allowed end users to load whiteboards in a controlled fashion in order to identify feature parity deficiencies. ### Software Analyst and Developer (Intern) @ Intentional Software Corporation Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Bellevue, Washington References: Michael Tang (Michael.Tang@microsoft.com) and Craig Maccomber (Craig.Maccomber@microsoft.com).
