Drove frontend platform modernization for Stripe’s small-business lending product—defined and rolled out modular patterns and guidelines that eliminated 2,000+ lines of legacy code and became the team’s new standard. Designed backend abstractions for extensible lendability checks, earning the Craftsmanship Award for meticulous systems design and mentorship. Led engineering efforts for a lending partnership launch through detailed roadmaps, task management, and stakeholder communication, and built a reproducible synthetic-test system safeguarding critical-path flows.

As an early engineer, I created and implemented software patterns that built a solid foundation for rapid development of new and future estate planning products and expansion to new markets, including: a React-based PDF generator, an abstraction for step-based flows, using Tsoa and OpenAPI to generate RESTful routes and a typed frontend client library, a framework for internationalization and localization, and a screenshot-diffing testing system using Cypress. Raised $4B+ for charity.

Launched a new team to research, design, and implement features to help businesses with a physical presence manage their online brand across online directory sites like Google Maps. On-boarded new hires and formulated new frontend design patterns in a greenfield project to slow the expansion of the company's monolith while appearing seamless to the end-user. Held regular scrum rituals and one-on-ones.

Deeply involved from the beginning in architecting and building a highly intricate event-sourced custom subscription billing system to accurately bill customers for Squarespace's several products (websites, domains, email, stock imagery) while maintaining a long history of millions of customers in an interminable number of states, producing accurate data for revenue recognition, and collecting global

taxes. Worked full-stack across the whole Squarespace product throughout this time, keeping up with frontend trends.

Leveraged microservice architecture, event-sourcing, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, REST, Kubernetes, React, MongoDB

Worked full-stack developing new features, maintaining and refactoring code, and fixing bugs. Got to know the ins-and-outs of a large Javascript application and its RESTful backend in Java on top of a NoSQL database. Major projects included a careful mass-modification of almost 2-million customer websites and a clear accompanying interface for customers to understand and manage this change. Also worked closely with marketing to lead the software development of a unique referrals program with a clear UI and an intricate backend.
