With 12 years of experience as a software developer, my last 2 were spent at Justworks. My core competencies lie in software architecture and fostering collaborative team environments. At Justworks, I was driven by the mission to streamline operations through innovation, and I took pride in mentoring team members to enhance our collective expertise. My aim was to align my work with the organization's culture of empowerment and to bring a diverse array of solutions to complex technical challenges. During my tenure at Justworks, I led the architecture and development of multiple backend APIs designed as microservices, facilitating seamless integration with larger monolithic applications. This endeavor involved close collaboration with various teams, applying enterprise design methodologies, and creative problem-solving to ensure a robust payments infrastructure. My role also extended to mentoring new hires, emphasizing knowledge-sharing and a supportive work atmosphere.
