Software Engineer

  • Built hiring-workflow automation used by 300+ production customers (~4.5M invocations / ~500K actions over 90 days), including event-triggered notifications and status updates.
  • Designed a reusable async event-publishing pattern for ATS workflows (error handling and retries) that other initiatives could adopt.
  • Owned a React SPA with a Backend-for-Frontend layer: local multi-service setup, hardened API contracts, and clearer failure diagnosis.
  • Resolved production severity incidents and multi-hour workflow bottlenecks by tracing complex paths and shipping durable fixes with stronger tests.
  • Mentored junior engineers and helped keep upgrades, vulnerability scanning, and tech debt on the roadmap via a roughly 50/50 feature vs non-feature split.
