Triplebyte is a jobs site and hiring platform for software engineers. Currently, joining requires taking an online programming skills assessment.

I worked with Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Redux, HTML/CSS, Heroku, SQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis.

I worked on the candidate side with other engineers, product, and design on a complex Ruby on Rails web application with more than 100 models and many bespoke, invisibly coupled systems.

Combined different models of scoring and certification into one semi-coherent "certificate" system, with comprehensive docs about the process and reasoning.

Took eng lead on a long automated feedback report for job applications. Interpreted and divided a complex specification document, then designed the code so the team could work in parallel. Worked on new QA tools and facilitated a QA session to iron out issues.

Wrote most of a multi-step NPS collection tool, with rules for when it should be shown, auto-saving, and a channel on Slack to see live feedback.
