Key Technologies: Scala, GCP, Terraform, gRPC, Cypress, React, TypescriptDesigned and implemented authentication and payment integrations with partners including Capital One and Uber. Designed the REST APIs to be implemented by these partners, and implemented consumers of their APIs in Scala. Contributed to the consumer-facing React front-end. Created an end-to-end testing infrastructure with Cypress.Generalized microservice infrastructure to better scale to an increasing number of partner portals. Refactored and rationalized Scala services, designed and implemented new gRPC for intra-service communication.Designed and deployed support infrastructure in Google Cloud (GKE, GCS, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub) using Terraform. Added logging, monitoring, alerting with Datadog.

Key Technologies: Go, AWS, PostgreSQL, GraphQL, Elasticsearch, Pulsar, React, TypescriptAcquired by Hopper!Tiny Trips (2020-2021)Designed and implemented the backend for a new consumer travel site. Six months after launch, site was generating 500 bookings/month and collecting $180k/month in payments.* Provided a GraphQL API for use by the React-based frontend.* Ingested catalog from Expedia and cached availability/pricing to deliver instant results for complex searches. * Managed the booking process, including integrations with Expedia (booking), Stripe (payment), Klaviyo (email). Experiences (2019-2020)Lead a team in the design and implementation of a rewrite of the backend architecture. In addition to PlacePass, it supported several white-label sites and a rich a partner API. It provided a unified interface for browsing and booking a catalog provided by several vendors. Still in use with minimal maintenance two year after acquisition by Hopper.

Key Technologies: Java, AWS, PostgeSQL, DynamoDB, RESTThe Payments team is a small group of engineers tasked with maintaining, scaling, and enhancing our payment processing platform, which authorizes, captures, and settles tens of millions of dollars worth of transactions every day. My focus was on our server architecture, primarily our collection of Java-based microservices.* Made it possible to accept new types of transactions, including eCommerce, card on file, and contactless EMV. In particular, the communication with Worldpay, including design, implementation, certification, and rollout.* Built a system to sync the results of contract negotiation (e.g. credit card rates) from Salesforce into our internal systems, a previously manual process. Created reusable services which were adopted by other teams for other projects.
