Did some foundational engineering work for a friend's startup and recruited a handful of backend and frontend engineers to continue the effort before stepping away to take a break from work and think about "next moves" with regards to a full-time, in-office role.

• Worked intensively on boots-on-the-ground product engineering work (i.e. full stack feature implementation based on our roadmap and customer-specific asks/needs)
• Implemented and maintained foundational devops and cloud infrastructure (GitLab CI/CD, Terraform, Docker, and AWS)
• Took the lead on hiring many early employees and readily made myself available to help onboard new hires, doing my best to nurture the less experienced engineers through active collaboration
• Extensively worked with strictly enforced static types in Python (type-checking via mypy), FastAPI, React functional components, and more

• Built up and led an engineering team of 10 while devoting most of my time to collaborating with the team on engineering work
• Focused on systems design and implementation as well as maintaining operational excellence (e.g. setting standards for hygiene around unit/integration testing, and code review)
• Quickly developed both a strength in and appetite for devops work. I particularly enjoyed designing and refining our multi-instance architecture which allows us to effortlessly provision private deployments for each of.
• Worked extensively with: Python/mypy, Terraform, AWS, GitLab CI/CD, Docker, Envoy, gRPC
• Led a collaborative effort with AWS's Data Exchange team prior to the service's public release
