> Senior Software Engineer | Full Stack Development, Subscription Management

Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/phile

As a Senior Software Engineer at Discord, I have been leading the development of innovative features that enhance user experience and revenue streams. I have successfully led the development of a dedicated Discounts platform for Subscriptions, enabling marketing experimentation and expansion of revenue models. I have also developed Apple Subscriptions that allow creators to customize and offer their own subscriptions to their community, creating a new revenue stream between server owners and Discord.

In addition to my work at Discord, I have a rich background in full stack development, having worked as a Senior Software Engineer at Indiegogo for over six years. There, I implemented background jobs infrastructure, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixels, and an in-house analytics system, allowing our BI team to have the necessary data to analyze our business, project managers to create data-driven products, and website visitors and content creators to analyze their content traffic. I also improved website-wide performance by optimizing images, improving JSON parsing, adding eager loading for n+1 queries, and moving blocking calls to background jobs. I am passionate about building scalable and efficient software solutions that meet the needs of users and businesses.
