# Raby Y. > Software Engineering Leader | Scalable Systems & AI-Driven Development Location: Bayonne, New Jersey, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/raby I’m a software engineering leader and founding engineer with deep experience designing scalable systems, modernizing legacy platforms, and delivering impactful digital products. I build software that is technically rigorous and genuinely delightful to use, and I use AI as a core part of how I do it. I treat AI not as a novelty but as a fundamental shift in how great software gets built. I actively integrate LLMs and agent-based tooling into every phase of the development lifecycle: architecture planning, code generation, automated review, test scaffolding, documentation, and CI optimization. My day-to-day toolkit includes Claude, GPT, Copilot, and others, applied wherever they create the most leverage. The result is meaningfully faster delivery, higher code quality, and more strategic execution, translating to 3-5x gains in development velocity on the projects I lead. As a founding engineer, I’ve helped shape early architecture, infrastructure, and workflows that enabled long-term scalability and rapid product growth. My work consistently bridges technical strategy and user experience, with a strong emphasis on performance, security, and operational efficiency. Key Accomplishments ∙ Led AI-assisted development of a secure digital platform for managing and monitoring natural gas flow across the Northeastern United States, improving engineering velocity while maintaining rigorous standards for reliability and pipeline safety. ∙ Founded and built an award-winning digital publication that grew to over 3.7 million monthly readers and generated more than $5 million in annual revenue. ∙ Built a web wallet Chrome extension with thousands of active users. ∙ Developed an analytics platform providing insights into blockchain developer activity. I’m passionate about leading teams, scaling resilient systems, and creating products that combine strong engineering with meaningful real-world impact, built smarter with AI at the core. ## Work Experience ### Sr. Software Engineer @ National Grid Jan 2024 – Present I lead frontend architecture, design, and development for an extensible digital platform that monitors and manages natural gas flow across a high-pressure pipeline network in the Northeastern United States. I partner with internal engineering teams and external consultants to deliver secure, scalable, and high-performance solutions aligned with operational and regulatory requirements. My work spans JavaScript, TypeScript, React, C#, .NET, Azure, Docker, PostgreSQL, GitHub Actions, Node.js, and Next.js. AI is a core part of how I work. I use Claude, GPT, and GitHub Copilot daily for inline code generation, refactoring, architecture planning, codebase reasoning, code review, automated testing, documentation, and CI workflows. This keeps delivery velocity high while maintaining a strong quality bar across a complex, regulated codebase. I mentor engineers, lead technical interviews, and foster a culture of clean architecture and continuous improvement across internal and external teams. ### Sr. Fullstack Engineer @ Horizen Labs Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | New York City Metropolitan Area I led the development of critical front-end products, including a Chrome extension web wallet, a single-page application supporting go-to-market strategy, and a smart contracts monitoring application. This work demonstrated deep expertise in JavaScript, React, and TypeScript. I played a pivotal role in mentoring team members, guiding them on front-end development best practices and strengthening their proficiency in technologies such as Node.js, React, and Next.js. Additionally, I implemented automated testing suites and CI/CD pipelines for front-end projects to uphold rigorous code quality standards and optimize deployment processes. ### Founding Engineer / Sr. Software Engineer @ First Look Media Jan 2015 – Jan 2023 | New York City Metropolitan Area I led the transition of a monolithic news publication into a modern distributed system architecture, leveraging React-powered single-page applications to significantly enhance user experience and engagement. I oversaw the development and maintenance of front-end interfaces for video streaming platforms and a non-fiction comics platform, using technologies such as React, TypeScript, and GraphQL to deliver dynamic, interactive user experiences. Additionally, I integrated a headless CMS seamlessly with front-end applications, optimizing content management and publication workflows through the use of React and Express.js. ### Full Stack Engineer @ Outbrain Jan 2013 – Jan 2015 | New York City Metropolitan Area I designed and built marketing landing pages and lead generation tools using Angular and JavaScript, resulting in increased customer acquisition and improved user engagement. I collaborated closely with design and marketing teams to enhance the corporate website, incorporating responsive designs and optimizing user experience across devices to improve overall usability and accessibility. ### Full Stack Web Developer @ Medline Industries Jan 2012 – Jan 2013 | Mundelein, Illinois, United States I led the comprehensive redesign of the corporate website and developed customer acquisition strategies using JavaScript, jQuery, and PHP, resulting in significant improvements in product conversion rates and user engagement. Through thoughtful redesign and implementation, the updated website enabled more seamless user interactions, driving stronger conversion metrics and deeper engagement with product offerings. ## Education ### Bachelor of Science - BS in Computer Science Mapúa University ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/rabyyuson - Website: https://www.rabyyuson.dev/ --- Source: https://flows.cv/raby JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/raby/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-22
