# Nicholas Martinez > Engineering Manager at BentoBox Location: Los Angeles County, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/nicholasmartinez Driven and hands-on Engineering Manager with nearly 8 years of experience designing, building, and leading full-stack systems that power large-scale, data-driven web applications. I combine a deep technical foundation with a pragmatic leadership style — mentoring engineers, shaping architecture, and shipping software that balances performance, maintainability, and business value. My professional background spans backend, frontend, and infrastructure work — with extensive experience in Python, React, Django, and modern web ecosystems. I’m passionate about building tools and experiences that empower both developers and end users, and I thrive on translating complex technical challenges into elegant, production-ready solutions. Earlier in my career, I worked across diverse environments — from IoT and embedded systems to graphics programming and low-level automation — experiences that shaped my systems-thinking approach and love for understanding technology from the metal up. ---- Core Skills ---- Languages & Frameworks: Python, JavaScript / TypeScript, React, Django, Node.js, SQL Systems & Tooling: Linux, Bash, Docker, CI/CD, Cloud Infrastructure Interests: Systems Programming, OpenGL/WebGL, Information Security, Cryptography, Automation ---- What Drives Me ---- I’m passionate about continuous learning, mentoring others, and building resilient engineering cultures that value craftsmanship and curiosity. Whether it’s refining backend performance, leading a technical migration, or exploring low-level kernel development, I’m always looking for opportunities to bridge the gap between engineering depth and real-world impact. ## Work Experience ### Engineering Manager @ BentoBox Jan 2025 – Present ### Tech Lead / Senior Software Engineer @ BentoBox Jan 2022 – Present ### Software Engineer II @ BentoBox Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | Remote ### Software Engineer @ TubeScience Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Remote Technologies: Python, Typescript, React, Pulumi, AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS), MySQL, HTML5, CSS3 ● Designed and implemented several high volume ETL applications in Python interfacing with Facebook Graph and Marketing API, processing advertisement performance data for 3+ million ads among 300+ clients. ● Held a critical role in architecting overall engineering infrastructure, building most day to day tooling and ETL applications from scratch. ● Built various company workflow automations with Python and Typescript including AWS Lambda functions serving as webhook endpoints to Monday.com and other internal organizational tools. ### Software Engineer Intern @ TheBrain Technologies Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Culver City Technologies: C#, .NET Core, XWT/Mono, GTK#, WPF, Xamarin, CefSharp, SQLite, Java (Legacy Support) ● Implemented cross-platform C# code to interface with OS specific file search functionality, optimizing internal SQLite database indexing speed and improving overall software load time. ● Utilized GUI software development kits to implement cross-platform drag and drop functionality into visual ‘Thought’ graph feature in TheBrain mind-mapping software. ● Designed and implemented critical security features allowing the embedded web browser to detect and flag dangerous web-links. ### Software Engineer @ Collide Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Culver City Technologies: PHP, SQL, Python, Bash, Javascript, HTML5, CSS3, Laravel, AWS, EC2, S3, Redis, Lambda, RDS ● Designed and implemented SMS/MMS, Email, and WebPush notification system in PHP, additionally integrating serverless technology in Python for batched notification processing for 100,000+ subscribers. ● Designed and implemented subscription-based, media content tiering system in PHP, including logic for billing and payment processing driving primary company revenue. ● Managed and maintained deployment pipeline by developing custom CI processes and scripts in Python/Bash for unique architecture ### Software Engineer Intern @ Collide Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | Culver City ### IT Consultant Intern @ Cloud77 Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Greater Los Angeles Area Technologies: Cisco, Domotz, Ipsec VPN, Sonicwall, Ubiquiti, Linksys ● Performed Linux server administration, system upgrades, file-system backups, and server maintenance. ● Administration of Cisco switch products, SonicWall Firewalls, Domotz Network Administration boxes. ## Education ### Bachelor of Science - BS in Computer Science California State University, Northridge Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 ### Associate of Science - AS in Computer Science Los Angeles Mission College Jan 2017 – Jan 2019 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/nicholas-martinez-137330138 - Website: https://xdmtk.org - GitHub: https://github.com/xdmtk - Website: https://blog.xdmtk.org --- Source: https://flows.cv/nicholasmartinez JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/nicholasmartinez/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-22
