# Taylor Murray > Software Engineer | Full-stack Developer | Payments and Cloud-based Systems Location: Brooklyn, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/taylormurray After 5+ years as a software engineer in the fintech and healthcare worlds, I've built my career in software development combing through tough engineering problems that truly moved the needle at my org. At Check Technologies, I led payment system overhauls that helped us land new clients, while at Brigit, my work on subscription and marketplace systems doubled our monthly revenue. During my Capital One days, I created better mobile and web experiences that boosted user engagement, while also making our systems more reliable and our dev team more productive. I'm at my best when I can use my software engineering and product skills to build solutions that scale and have meaningful impact on end users and the business. For me, great engineering is as much about the code that you do write as much as the code you do not write. I believe in balancing high engineering standards with speed in business impact and results and I am a solutions oriented person and a tinkerer and these characteristics combined have allowed me to come up with creative solutions problems. Looking ahead, I'm eager to continue to grow as a technical leader while working on problems that have impact! My goal is to join a team where I can deepen my technical expertise and work on products that make a difference in people's lives.
