## Work Experience
### Software Engineer III @ EasyPost
Jan 2023 – Present | Boston, Massachusetts, United States

### Senior Software Engineer @ Datto
Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | Remote
Acquired by Kaseya in June 2022.

Identifying opportunities to solve challenges in the Datto ecosystem leveraging microservices. Working with a scrum team to design and build out these new microservices utilizing Go-lang and Kubernetes.

Key Accomplishments:

- Creating a Go-lang microservice to mitigate Microsoft API throttling for Datto clients. This reduced total Microsoft throttling errors by 97%. 
- Architecting a Go-lang microservice to replace the OAuth2 login flow currently implemented in our legacy codebase. 
- Working with SRE to define productionisation checklists and health metrics for new microservices, leveraging Prometheus and VMAlert for monitoring and alerting.
- Ongoing work balancing both new feature development and legacy codebase retirement.
- Leveraging domain knowledge to both support the onboarding of new hires and the broader SaaS Protection team.

### Software Engineer 2 @ Datto
Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | Remote
Continued working with the SaaS Protection team, stepping away from maintaining the legacy codebase and leaning into new feature design and implementation. Largely focused on adding new features to Symfony (PHP) and Scala codebases while diving into the realm of Go-lang microservices.

Key Accomplishments:

- Led a scrum team across multiple epics from start to finish, coordinating with Product Owners and Stakeholders to ensure our implementations met customer needs.
- Designed and created a client-level report to visualize backup health for 5,600 resellers. Leveraged ElasticSearch, Scala, and Symfony (PHP) in multiple codebases to generate and email these reports daily. 
- Created a Go-lang microservice deployed via Kubernetes to handle both our base client onboarding flow and integration to the newly acquired SaaS Defense product.
- Took ownership of an in-flight distributor opt-in flow for SaaS Protection, coordinating cross-functionally to drive the initiative to completion.

### Software Engineer 1 @ Datto
Jan 2018 – Jan 2020 | Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Worked on the SaaS Protection (formerly Backupify) product, a secure SaaS backup and recovery solution for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace data. Primarily focused on supporting the legacy Ruby on Rails code while adding new features to the modern codebase utilizing Symfony (PHP) and Scala.

Key Accomplishments:

- Led a project to integrate a Ruby on Rails application with another internal team’s SSO service implementing OAuth2.
- Created a Symfony application during a Datto hackathon to reimplement our legacy Admin Support system into our modern codebase, eventually productionizing and fully deploying the application. 
- Fixed the top 10 security vulnerabilities in the legacy Ruby on Rails codebase.
- Learned Jira, Git, and overall Scrum best practices amidst individual contributions and leading projects.
- Regularly mentored interns and supported the onboarding of full-time hires.

### Web Development Fellow @ Startup Institute
Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Selected through a competitive pool of applicants for 12-week immersive web development program. Practiced skills include Ruby on Rails, Agile development tactics, Test-driven development, Git, and Heroku. The program provides extensive opportunity for both hands-on application building and professional development.

### Software Engineering Intern @ Datto, Inc.
Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Worked with a small team of developers to harden the Backupify Classic product. During the course of the internship, had the opportunity to work on both individual and collaborative projects in an Agile Scrum environment. Primary individual responsibility over the course of the internship was implementing dynamic branding in the company's automated email system based on customer product subscription. While completing this individual task, had the opportunity to contribute in other projects such as a Thrift to CQL database migration.
