# Terry Martin > Senior Software Engineer @ RAIN, Inc. Location: Charlotte, North Carolina, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/terrymartin I’m a full-stack engineer with 10+ years of experience shipping production web apps, SaaS products, and data-heavy platforms. I like building things that get used every day — not demos, not experiments, but software that carries real workloads. I work across front-end and back-end and enjoy taking products from early architecture through scale and stabilization. I’m often pulled into messy or complex systems to bring structure, performance improvements, and maintainable patterns. Primary stack: React, Next.js, Angular, Node.js, C#/.NET, Laravel, Django, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and AWS. Recent work includes API integrations, authentication systems, admin tools, and analytics dashboards. I also run a service business, which keeps me grounded in how software supports real operations — scheduling, billing, customer flows, and process automation. I design with usability and outcomes in mind. I believe good software should be reliable, understandable, and worth maintaining. Ship value. Reduce friction. Keep improving. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ RAIN, Inc. Jan 2021 – Present | Charlotte, NC •I moved RAIN’s clinical HIV Case Management platform from a brittle monolith to a Next.js 14 and .NET 8 architecture. •I replaced our unreliable legacy data ingestion scripts with a robust Java and Spring Boot microservice that handles the heavy lifting of parsing and validating 100,000+ clinical records daily for our CDC exports. •To speed up feature delivery, I established organization-wide "AI Catalyst" playbooks including repository-level .cursorrules and AI-assisted PR review heuristics, boosting individual throughput by 40% for the entire engineering team. •I architected the clinical integration layer using SMART on FHIR standards and AWS PrivateLink to ensure that Protected Health Information (PHI) never crossed the public internet during hospital EHR syncs. •During a peak STI testing surge, I optimized the Mobile Testing Unit app to handle a 4x traffic spike with zero downtime by implementing Redis caching and a custom circuit breaker pattern in our microservices. •Developed authenticated admin portals in TypeScript and Node.js with fine-grained RBAC enforced at both API and UI layers, then hardened those controls to ensure only authorized providers could access PHI. •I identified a persistent memory leak in our messaging service that was spiking execution costs, refactoring the Node.js implementation dropped our monthly AWS Lambda bill by 22%. •I rebuilt our CI/CD in GitHub Actions and automated the dev-environment setup via Terraform, which cut developer onboarding time from 3 days to under 4 hours. •I developed the Python and SQL ETL pipelines for CDC reporting, replacing a manual workflow that was eating 15 hours a week from the operations team. •I mentored 5 junior engineers on Clean Architecture and SOLID principles. 3 of them were promoted to Senior roles while I was here. •I was promoted to Senior Software Engineer within 18 months because of my leadership in legacy modernization. ### Owner/ Chef @ NC Catering Jan 2019 – Jan 2026 | 9545 Pinnacle Dr Suite A Charlotte, NC 28262 Full Service Catering Co Specializing in Corporate Catering, Private Catering, Personal Chef Services, Baking, Smoking and Grill Pit Master. ### Software Engineer @ Pamlico Capital Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | Charlotte, NC •I architected a custom Power BI reporting suite that integrated directly with the iLEVEL API to track over $5B in Assets Under Management (AUM) across 30+ portfolio companies. •I maintained legacy Angular dashboards for private equity stakeholders while incrementally migrating core modules to React and Next.js, improving platform load speed by 35%. •Investors used to wait 24 hours for portfolio snapshots, so I implemented a Kafka-based event pipeline that reduced turnaround time to under 60 seconds. •Collaborated with Investment Partners to translate complex private equity requirements into high performance technical specs for the internal LP Portal. •I designed the auth and RBAC systems for our Limited Partner (LP) portal using .NET Core and Node.js, ensuring 100% compliance with high-stakes financial governance audits. •I found a massive bottleneck in the SQL Server schema that was dragging down performance; after I refactored the queries and tuned the indexes, the platform was 40% faster. •Designed high-integrity ETL workflows using SQL Server and MySQL to validate accuracy for portfolio snapshots used in multi-million dollar investment pivots. •I re-engineered broken data feeds from SpendHQ and Momentive using resilient error-handling logic in Python, bringing our daily platform uptime to 99.9%. •I was the first person on the team to champion the adoption of GitHub Copilot to accelerate the creation of complex financial data utilities and internal reporting tools. •I set up our first automated testing and deployment workflows using GitHub Actions, which cut the time we spent on manual QA every Friday in half. ### Owner/ Operator @ MOVE IT! Jan 2014 – Jan 2019 | Acworth, Georgia Moving, Deliveries, Labor and more ### Full Stack Engineer @ Opkalla Jan 2014 – Jan 2018 | Charlotte, NC •During a client onboarding, I performed a proactive audit of their cloud spend and identified $40k/month in "leakage" from orphaned Azure resources. I built a React-based TCO tool to prevent recurrence. •I engineered a cloud-native SaaS platform for scoring 600+ IT vendors using a React frontend and a PHP/Laravel backend gateway that handled vendor data ingestion. •I incrementally replaced legacy Angular components with React micro-services, which reduced our production frontend bundle size by 35% and improved UX metrics. •I managed our AWS deployments using Docker and Kubernetes to maintain 99.9% availability for enterprise clients. •Standardized deployment environments through Terraform, cutting environment setup time for new clients from 3 days to 4 hours. •I integrated the Salesforce and ServiceNow APIs to automate client data ingestion, saving the operations team an estimated 30+ labor hours every week. •I set up Datadog monitoring and centralized logging to track system health, which reduced our incident resolution time by 40%. •I partnered with IT leaders to design infrastructure-centric dashboards that improved strategic decisionmaking and vendor ROI analysis. •I conducted deep system analysis to scale platform capabilities, reducing end-user latency by 30% for high-volume vendor evaluation requests. ### Software Engineer Intern @ Premier Inc.
