# Oliver Ullman > Senior Software Engineer at Rubrik Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/oliverullman React expert and full stack freelancer who has worked with high-profile clients such as Facebook, Rubrik, Chess.com, and the Diem association. Some notable achievements: - Worked for Facebook before the age of 20 - While searching for my first full-time job I built a bot that automatically applied for jobs on Angel.co, searching for keywords in the posting to automatically chose an optimized resume & cover letter, and then creatively searched for the emails of the executives of the company and sent them a personal email informing them of my application. The bot eventually applied to hundreds of jobs and sent over a thousand emails. - I spent a year as the head of and founder of Anyone Can Code, a free website that taught people how to code. The project unfortunately was abandoned due to lack of funding but at its height I was leading a team of three engineering contributors and one designer, determining the direction of the company and its content, and creating the highly optimized stack from scratch. When I have time I work with the open source project Free Code Camp as a contributor. As someone who is mostly self-taught, I also mentor people who are trying to learn programming. I have helped dozens of people, 3 of which have gone on to get jobs in the industry. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ Rubrik, Inc.
