# Sal R > Software Engineer, Full-Stack Location: New York City Metropolitan Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/salr Pursuing a career in software development fulfills some of my greatest passions, including innovating technologies, economic empowerment, research, and general problem-solving. In many aspects of my life, I have dealt with what seems like the impossible and persevered, preparing me for my new journey of becoming a software engineer. Having a background in financial services and business development early on in my career gave me strength and hope for my biggest challenge: Entrepreneurship. Launching a new company forced me to change pace, re-examine my life and what I wanted from it. Tackling a bootstrapped business also motivated me to utilize top SaaS products and establish partnerships with tech-disrupting companies such as Thumbtack and WaveApps. In the process of pivoting my career to software development, I acknowledged the potential to better understand underlying technologies, gain new skill sets and grow professionally. As an entrepreneur and a Full Stack Software Engineer, I enjoy a diverse range of interests and fundamentally love to build companies, communities, and transformative experiences. I am constantly generating insights from understanding how technological trends change the behavior of people and markets and I look forward to engaging with other luminaries, professionals, or peers in my field, who want to create innovative applications. In my next role, I hope to explore disruptive consumer-centric technology products and deliver solutions that are flexible, brilliant and impactful. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer, Fellowship, @ Pursuit Jan 2021 – Present Industry Fluency || Technical Mastery || Leadership & Personal Development ### Co-Founder, Partnership Building @ Drainers Pro Jan 2015 – Jan 2018 | New York City Metropolitan Area Bootstrapped Business || Top-Rated Service Pros || Awarded Thumbtack Best of the Year Award for two consecutive years ### Investment Banking Associate @ Credit Suisse Jan 2013 – Jan 2014 | Greater New York City Area Investment Banking Capital Markets (Corporate Lending) - Sponsors Group ### Senior Investment Analyst @ Citi Jan 2012 – Jan 2013 Institutional Clients Group - Corporate & Investment Banking ### Credit Analyst @ Citi Jan 2010 – Jan 2012 Institutional Clients Group - Portfolio Management ### Investment Banking Summer Analyst @ Goldman Sachs Jan 2009 – Jan 2009 Investment Banking Division - Public Sector & Infrastructure ### Corporate Tax Intern @ Ernst & Young Jan 2008 – Jan 2008 Financial Services Office (Taxation) - Banking, Capital Markets & Asset Management ### Property Sales Intern @ Cushman & Wakefield Jan 2007 – Jan 2007 Real Estate - Commercial & Residential Sales (fka Massey Knakal Realty) ### Consumer Banking Intern @ JP Morgan Chase Bank Jan 2004 – Jan 2006 Consumer Banking - Teller, Concierge & Customer Onboarding (fka Washington Mutual Bank) ## Education ### Fellowship in Software Development Pursuit ### Bachelor of Science in Applied Accounting & Finance Fordham University ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/usersr --- Source: https://flows.cv/salr JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/salr/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-13
