Software Engineer
Redwood City, California, Us
I have many fond memories from my time at Course Hero, but my greatest take-away has been the friends I made. They are a great group of people and I'm happy to still be hanging out with many of them. Over the years, the team helped me develop my inter-personal skills, my professional career, and my self-confidence. I have them to thank for a lot.During my time as a software engineer at Course Hero, I had a hand in most products, did a lot of reading, and a lot more writing. Probably >40k lines of PHP, SQL, HTML, Javascript... but who's counting? I also deleted a lot of code, too! I'm pretty proud of that. It gives me a unique feeling of zen to weed out a repo. Also integrated with third-party services, most notably with ExactTarget (now Salesforce Marketing Cloud) and the Google Search Appliance (yellow box of mystery). As the team grew, I became the technical lead of the crowd-sourced questions and answers platform.
