Software Engineer
Braze
- Developed a web application for internal use using Ruby on Rails, React, MongoDB, and Memcached. I used Sidekiq, and Redis for message queuing and JenkinsCI for running tests and deploying the application. Papertrail, New Relic, and Sentry were used for error tracking and debugging.
- Developed a web application usage analytics UI. I recorded web application usage events in MongoDB and displayed charts of aggregations of user actions and page visits using React and Highcharts.
- Created an integration with SendGrid API for email account setup, domain authentication, IP warming, and IP pool setup. I built the UI using React for users to interact with the SendGrid API, display validations for domains, and download IP information.
- Built Salesforce and Gainsight integration with the platform using the Salesforce API and AWS S3 buckets. I created daily cron jobs to send and receive data between Salesforce and Gainsight.
- Created a Ruby style guide for developers. This prevented engineers from creating bugs and reduced the time needed for review by automatically enforcing style rules using Rubocop.
- Created a UI for creating marketing campaigns and sending push notifications using Ruby on Rails, Mongo, and Knockout.js.
Software Engineer

- Developed a search bar using Elasticsearch for a social network site to search for users, and events. I created the back end with Rails, and PostgreSQL, and the front end with Backbone.js.
- Built an Instagram integration to create social posts from Instagram posts. I used Instagram API, PostgreSQL, and Sidekiq to create posts asynchronously.
