I'm working as a foundational engineer on Hiive's Investing team, building the core infrastructure that powers investment decisions for thousands of users. As an active member of our backend guild, I focus on thoughtful refactoring and system improvements while exploring AI integrations to enhance our platform capabilities.

Led a cross-functional engineering team to deliver multiple product initiatives for one of the world's largest beauty companies. I managed engineering resources while architecting RESTful APIs and event-driven systems that handle millions of customer interactions daily. Focused on maintaining high code quality standards while meeting aggressive delivery timelines.

As a Staff Engineer, I led a small but mighty engineering team focused on building data infrastructure for the insurance industry. I designed schema systems and automated workflows for Kafka and Segment integrations, while mentoring junior developers through pair programming and code reviews. Created comprehensive documentation that became the standard for our Data Engineering team.

Built scalable systems using Elixir, TypeScript, Ruby, GraphQL, and Kafka for the luxury consignment platform. Led the A/B testing engineering initiatives, increasing our experimentation velocity by 40%. Took ownership of the Analytics platform and established testing best practices that are still used across the organization today.

Made one of the most rewarding decisions of my career here - migrating our entire backend from Ruby to Elixir, which improved system performance by 300%. Built a comprehensive analytics platform with Segment and Mixpanel integrations for the gaming industry. Designed backend architecture while also developing frontend components in ES6 and React.
