# Hootan Farokhi > Senior Backend Software Engineer Location: Clayton, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/hootanfarokhi I consider myself mostly as a back end software developer/engineer with experience in a diverse number of systems and software languages. My development knowledge expands UI development, business layer development, data layer development, as well as database development. What I take most pride in is my ability to quickly recognize and understand a problem and collaborate within my team to design a comprehensive solution. Having worked mostly at smaller companies and relatively small teams for 15 years, I have been involved in many aspects of a software practice. This includes software design and architecture, product development, custom solution development, software deployment and integration, management of a software engineering team, business analyst, project management, sales engineer, and customer support. My well rounded career experience provides me with more tools to fully contribute to an organization and fill in gaps that are missing within my immediate team. ## Work Experience ### Senior Backend Software Engineer @ Sureify Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 | San Francisco Bay Area - Designed and developed the data infrastructure from the ground up for the Sureify insurance portal product.
