# Roy Quintana > Software Engineer | Technology Team Builder | Sustainability & Climate | Web & Mobile App Development Location: Los Angeles, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/royquintana With over 10 years experience in software engineering, I’ve had the privilege to work with and build teams at multiple startups and small businesses. Most recently, I coordinated the hiring pipeline, software architecture, and CI/CD for a small software team as a first hire. I currently work on fullstack web and mobile development. Although in my early career days emphasized development on mathematical models, simulations and data engineering. After my team was laid off at the end of 2023, I spent much of 2024 traveling and considering the direction of my career. I found that it was time to finally pursue a lifelong interest in sustainability and climate as two of the most important areas for humans to be engaged. Regardless of the sector, my passion and strength is on maintaining a sense of craftsmanship in architecting software while ensuring our teams continue to develop their people and provide opportunities for growth to all members. Crucially I insist on seeing all parts of the product development life cycle to guarantee we’re building the right things for our clients and people. I live with my fiancé in Hollywood, CA. We sometimes volunteer with TreePeople to help plant or maintain young trees in underserved neighborhoods of Southern California. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ The X Company Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 | Remote • Integrated company’s mobile apps with React Native and Redux into a single streamlined company app • Revamped TypeScript usage with generics and utility types for simpler Redux store access for developers • Introduced Axios Interceptors to streamline token refresh and dynamic header support for requests • Orchestrated Bluetooth lock device SDKs with Swift and Kotlin interwoven with React Native’s Event Emitter • Feature flagged existing and new configurations enabling easier app updates without additional releases • Refactored error logging to Sentry and Mixpanel to provide meaningful and relevant messages and reduce noise • Led engineering and CI/CD discussions to focus on developing team skills and promote better engineering quality of life • Hired additional software talent and set up initial software development team practices for The X Company • Created Formik form for third party integration and custom UI components enabling users to submit work orders • Implemented React ErrorBoundary to prevent app crashes and enhance logging for ease of debugging ### Fullstack Software Engineer @ GoSite Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Remote • Deployed AWS Node Lambda using TypeScript to bridge marketing attribution data between Branch and HubSpot • Initiated engineering team’s adoption of TypeScript in the frontend React/Redux repo • Converted legacy React class components to functional components utilizing contemporary language constructs • Designed versioned MongoDB customer onboarding document stores as part of Growth initiatives ### Senior Software Engineer @ TrainerRoad Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Remote • Created React Native functional UI components in TypeScript for mobile cyclist training app. • Handled cross-platform implementations between iOS and Android with emphasis on UX to help athletes get faster • Structured observable state interactions within MobX architecture • Utilized Inversify to manage dependency injection across state containers within the application • Implemented React Native Navigation to seamlessly transition between screens in a navigation stack ### Software Engineer @ Reduxie Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 • Authored NPM module to asynchronously persist Redux state for usage in React based Progressive Web Applications with middleware and reducer wrapper for efficient, non-blocking, ease-of-programming integration • Utilized IndexedDB browser storage with Dexie library for lightweight caching and retrieval of Redux state with minimal overhead and without impacting application performance • Adopted TypeScript for its type safety enabling high-productivity and module development best practices • Implemented React-Redux PWA with Workbox.js to maintain and tune Service Web Workers to test module functionality and efficiency • Leveraged Jest for unit tests to ensure consistency and code coverage of module middleware and reducer (Open Source Tool) ### Integrations Engineer @ Chrome River Technologies Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 • Used AWS SageMaker with Python to build and test machine learning suite and data pipeline to predict customer matters winning in-house hackathon;
