Charles Batty-Capps Email and Phone Number

I recently joined PlanGrid and I'm excited to ramp up and start solving interesting problems! I am part of a new Portland-based Insights team that will be working on a data product and visualizations. I'm as yet to know all the details, but I'm excited to be part of the team.Previously, I was the tech lead for backend engineering at Premise Data. At Premise, I was involved in a full rearchitecting of the Premise platform. I worked on a wide range of projects, from designing and implementing microservices and APIs, to investigating the high-level approach for complex features that touched the platform end-to-end, and deep diving into improving the performance of our platform and ensuring scalability. At Premise, I played a significant leadership role in technical design, ensuring code quality and a good code review process, as well as simply figuring our which engineer is a good fit to work on which project.Technologies that I have used include the full GCP suite of technologies (App Engine, Compute Engine, PubSub, Google Storage, Cloud Datastore, Cloud SQL, Memcache, Stackdriver, etc.) The microservices I work on are typically written using Java and Scala, or Python. At Premise, we had an interesting approach to using Scala, Kotlin, and Java effectively within the GCP ecosystem. I have worked on many technology improvements, such as rolling out Swagger to all of our services. I have enjoyed working on meta programming, such as contributing to the Swagger codegen project and using Scala macros.Previously, I worked at Jive Software for 4 years as a QE Engineer. Work there included a range of interesting projects, such as how to effectively parallelize a vast number of Selenium tests, writing a framework for higher-level Selenium assertions, designing a Selenium Grid, and writing an IntelliJ plugin to support using the Robot DSL integrated with Java (https://github.com/charlescapps/robot-intellij-plugin).
