# ❄️ Samantha Ngo > Software Engineer Location: San Mateo, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/samanthango Hi, thank you for visiting my profile! My name is Samantha and I'm a software engineer. My interests include technology, business, psychology, philosophy, and behavioral economics. I love software engineering because I get to solve problems and reach millions of people with my work. I'm looking to go into product because I love thinking up new features for products and putting myself in the customers' perspectives to identify and solve their pain points. Two of my long-term goals are to have my own tech startup and a waffle diner! πŸ™‚ ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Roblox Jan 2022 – Jan 2025 | San Mateo, California, United States ● Built and launched frontend for saved payment methods using Stripe Elements, deployed across multiple Roblox platforms, allowing users to view, add, and manage their saved payment methods. ● Refactored existing Stripe payment system integrations to support a new fiat developer subscriptions feature for game creators and users.
