App-based shuttle services for office commute

- Part of the team that re-wrote the monolith backend into modern service-oriented architecture from scratch. Applied domain-driven design, to make software that is "soft" - easy to change and speaks the business language.

- Owned ETA and tracking development which is a critical part of our product experience. With collaboration among Tech, Product, and Analytics we pushed on-time Shuttl's from ~60% to 90% Simultaneously cutting the absurd cost of Google's direction API. 

- I was also in a 2-person code quality squad, responsible for reviewing all pull requests - ensuring quality, and developing patterns for common problems in a rapidly growing codebase and team.

Product development experience in a B2B SaaS startup (pre-acquisition)

- Developed and shipped features, improvements, and also, patches for some very elusive bugs. I've worked across the stack involving: Product API, a few backend Micro-services (Python/Elixir), and sophisticated frontend applications (Vue/Ember)

- Implemented performance improvements in a few backend APIs with Redis, HTTP caching, and content tweaks. Also improving Messenger widget boot time by ~80% on slower networks.

- Distributed workload among email-service instances with consistent hashing, used consul for service discovery.

- Added support for messenger customization with runtime configuration supporting styles, texts, and business hours.
