Building a tech platform that helps older Americans navigate the complexities of Medicare.

Lead, mentor, and support a team of six software engineers with responsibilities including project planning, code review, and weekly one-on-ones. I work closely with product managers and senior management to scope out and prioritize tasks and establish timelines.Key projects include redesigning the consumer-facing application's backend to allow for faster and more maintainable additions of new business verticals, simplifying the data architecture of our core consumer-facing application while improving data integrity, and building tooling to automate the majority of our deploy process.The tech stacks that I most frequently use are Go running in Google Cloud hosted Kubernetes, Ruby on Rails running in AWS EC2 instances, and Node.js running in AWS Lambda.

I developed and maintained a group of consumer-facing applications. At first, my daily work involved creating new features and bug fixes for a group of Ruby on Rails applications. Then I took on the responsibility of designing and programming a Sinatra application that works as the primary integration layer between EverQuote and its insurance partners. I also lead the early stages of creating EverQuote's first serverless application (using AWS Lambda and Node) that provides the API for the EverDrive mobile app.

I assisted in teaching students software engineering principles. The class focused on teams learning collaborative software engineering by creating Ruby on Rails applications hosted on Heroku and using PostrgeSQL as the data store. My tasks included helping students in all aspects of the application creation process including setting up environments, application design, and database design. I also graded students and hold office hours for one-on-one code review and debugging sessions.

Provided quality customer support in-person, online, and over the phone. Responsibilities included troubleshooting software issues and assisting with the use of university systems. As a senior technician, I assisted in training and guiding new team members as well as handling advanced repair issues.
