Backend engineer with a focus on Rails and distributed systems. I went from implementing banking software at Oracle to owning the full backend of a food-tech startup solo for over a year and a half. I care about code quality — TDD, meaningful tests, systems that are easy to reason about. I also contribute to open source through Ruby for Good.
