new clinical function in our application called Care Guides which served 50% of the thousands of kids
that registered under that program.

⦁ Developed in a high collaboration environment pairing with other engineers, sometimes across teams, ensuring no function had less than two engineers that were subject matter experts
⦁ Rearchitected configurations for external partners from yaml to db backed data models which increased our ability to scale dramatically, reducing required PRs for configuration changes from an average of 10 per week to 0, all while reducing our codebase by 50,994 lines of code
⦁ Designed and helped implement a complex membership billing method required by a large insurance partner which unlocked millions of covered lives in our system
⦁ Improved efficiency of our eligibility file processing by pushing data to Redis to be read and processed in individual Sidekiq jobs which allowed files to scale a thousand times larger without crashing the service
