How can we leverage technology, data, and automation to bring people together, improve efficiency, and solve difficult problems?In my previous career as an urban planner, I faced this question frequently - and as a software developer, I am now empowered to answer it. I currently work as a full-stack Developer at Planning Center, where I build and maintain features with Ruby on Rails and Javascript / React. I have a strong focus on writing clear, maintainable code, understanding the "whys" of both technical and business decisions, and collaborating with colleagues (in and outside of the engineering team) to develop, refine, and implement product improvements.Outside of work, I organize the bi-monthly Interview Prep sessions for WNB.rb (online community for women and non-binary Rubyists), volunteer with my neighborhood civic organization, and conduct rigorous research on the best bagels available in Philly.Find me on GitHub (@cariperi) or reach out by e-mail at caroline.anne.peri@gmail.com - I love to chat all things code and cities!
