# Parker Vaughn > Senior Software Engineer Location: Charlotte, North Carolina, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/parkervaughn Engineer with 12+ years of experience taking ownership of complex web applications. Most of my work has been front-end focused, but I’ve always operated on the full-stack – making architectural decisions, improving performance, and handling production issues when they matter. I value clear code, practical solutions, and steady delivery over unnecessary complexity. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer - Lead Frontend Engineer @ Badge, Inc. Jan 2023 – Jan 2025 | United States I helped lead a small startup team to completely re-write their frontend web application using pnpm, Typescript, Vite, and React. We handled complex tasks related to user media and video capture. ### Senior Software Engineer @ Upstart Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 I helped design, architect, and deliver performant web applications for use directly by the customer. During my time here I built a new application from the ground up using Typescript, React, Redux. I optimized performance by tuning bundle size, lazy loading resources appropriately, and adding effective caching mechanisms where necessary. I also handled some leadership tasks including, but not limited to: software upgrades, monitoring incoming customer related bugs, and managing branch cutting / code promotion. ### Feature Lead - Software Engineer @ Bank of America Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | Charlotte, North Carolina As a feature lead, I helped my team follow best practices for the SDLC using React, Node.js, Objection.js, and MS SQL. I also mentored less experienced engineers and provided in-depth code reviews, had regular meetings with our product owner to plan our release roadmap, handled after-hours production releases, and handled multiple administrative tasks from database migrations to server setup and management. ### Software Engineer @ Commerce Signals Jan 2015 – Jan 2019 | Charlotte, North Carolina Area I built multiple responsive production ready Angular applications here using both AngularJS and Angular. I learned and executed SPA / REST architecture and best practices. ### Developer @ Premier Inc. Jan 2014 – Jan 2015 I am responsible for providing valuable input to the business as well as the technical side of our team. I am expected to be able to complete any velocity story on my own and in a timely manner. The technology stack has remained the same from what I've described in my previous job description below. ### Associate Developer @ Premier Inc. Jan 2013 – Jan 2015 | Charlotte, North Carolina I am responsible for working with development, operations, and the business to design processes and engineer technology that will allow quality data to be collected, processed and analyzed to satisfy business needs. I work with a smaller agile team, so I have picked up skills in different areas of the development life cycle, as well as the testing process. I have specifically learned Dojo / Javascript, Spring, Spring MVC, and Selenium / Cucumber for automated testing purposes. To properly manage our project's build I have used Maven to add dependencies and to run our custom Dojo build. Another key piece to the puzzle is version control, and most of my knowledge in this category is managing Git repositories. ## Education ### B.S.
