Technical Co-Founder, Senior Developer/Engineer, System Architect
• Workshopped, developed, and iterated various elements and feature across both prototype and beta product. Built proof of concept, functional demonstrations of key features to prove and refine them prior to implementations.• Further prototyped demo builds that highlighted key features to assist fund raising efforts.• Researched, selected, and integrated 3rd party services to both fast-track, stabilize, and improve product while also offering future service potential and ability to scale with product growth.• Coded product backend components, including API, service integrations, background tasks, and core algorithms. Iterated and improved core components when moving from prototype to beta product.• Designed abstraction layer class structure and data model hierarchy to sit on top of 3rd party services and enable standardized access without losing niche functionality of each service; allow for future service integrations with minimal effort.• Led dev team to manage an aggressive and fluid timeline and meet deliverables, dynamically adjusting where necessary to address high priority and triage level tickets.• Informed deliverables and order of operations for meeting product milestones. • Lost way too many company game nights.
