Signal uses machine learning to help our clients predict and avoid bank transfer returns. I'm designing and building things to support all areas of our product. I designed and implemented our customer retro test process, designed and built our GDPR data deletion systems, built integrations with multiple third party vendors, and continue to add new features to inform our models. My role also involves upholding code quality and long-term maintainability on our team, both through advocacy and through getting my hands dirty refactoring hard to understand problem areas of our code.

I built tools and infrastructure for the Android developer community. My goal is to help you make your app or game smaller, more efficient, and discoverable through Google Play Instant. If you have a phone running Android Lollipop or above, it's probably running a little bit of code I wrote. Most of my work lately, however, has been in developer tools such as Android Studio, the Google Play Instant CLI, and the Play Developer Console.

Risk Systems uses machine learning and an extensive variety of engineered data signals to detect fraud on Squire's systems. Every payment passes through us for approval. During my time on the team, my daily work was split between back testing new hypotheses, making foundational improvements to our online Java services, working with our internal ops team and tooling to improve their workflow, and integrating with new data sources both within and outside the company.Technologies: Java, MySQL, Ruby/Rails (occasionally)

As an engineer on the External Platform team, I was responsible for designing, building, maintaining, and providing technical support for Square's public-facing APIs (https://docs.connect.squareup.com). I built or contributed significantly to the employee, timecard, cash drawer, inventory, image upload, subscriptions, and items catalog APIs. I also completed the OAuth/billing page and owned it for the better part of a year, built and maintained our automated acceptance test system, migrated our API service to multi-DC, supported the API on Stack Overflow, and served as the main technical point of contact for our integrations with TSheets, WhenIWork, and Homebase.Technologies: Node, Ruby/Rails, Golang, MySQL
