# John Amicangelo > Senior Software Engineer at Paxos Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/johnamicangelo Short story: persistence, and a job worth doing is worth doing well. Long story: I love computers and making software for them. My goal is to learn as much as I can, so I can make more great software and have more great experiences in technology. A question that I always have while I'm working is, "Can I do this better?" It's great when I get to work with people smarter than me because they can provide that better way. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ Paxos Jan 2017 – Present | New York, New York Paxos is on a mission to modernize finance by mobilizing assets at the speed of the internet.
