# Zambeta Tsapos > Senior Software Engineer 2 at Crossbeam Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/zambeta I am a software engineer with a communications degree and a knack for problem solving. I come from a colorful background, with experience in everything from customer service to live television to stand-up comedy to website management. I'm a big indie gamer, and love anything with a good story and creative mechanics. Empathy and community are values I hold very dear and ones that I will bring to any situation, personal or professional. I hope to one day use my powers for good and make something that helps people, or at least brings them a little joy. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer 2 @ Crossbeam Jan 2026 – Present ### Senior Software Engineer @ Crossbeam Jan 2023 – Jan 2026 ### Software Engineer @ Crossbeam Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 ### Associate Software Engineer @ Crossbeam Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 ### Software Engineering Immersive Student @ General Assembly Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Boston, Massachusetts, United States A three-month Software Engineering Intensive bootcamp where I learned and had opportunities to apply different code languages, frameworks, libraries and algorithms.
