I'm helping build a next generation engineering stack for the Restaurant Technology industry. My engineering focus is the FinTech side of our platform: payments, payouts, taxes, reconciliation, reporting, compliance, flow of funds, invoicing, billing, integrated accounting, risk, fraud, all the money related engineering things.

As backend and product engineering lead for Grid's BoostCard (a debit card that earns points and builds credit) I executed integrations between core services, payment processors, banking providers, card issuers, and credit reporting agencies in order to scale systems to support hundreds of thousands of daily active users.

Moving into Grid's 2nd major product area of personal finance, I led the backend development for payroll and bank account integrations, multiple payments and flow of funds systems, client facing product backends, and risk analysis.

As our tax product lines launched to production, I continued to lead our growing backend product engineering needs, but also added our DevOps, CICD, DevX, and Data Analytics needs to my list of ownership areas.

In backend engineering, I led the development of almost all backend services, spanning everything from database designs and RPC contracts to product design and internal tooling library code.
