Staff Engineer | Technical Lead
Remote
- Defined technical architecture and led a team of engineers through a ground-up rewrite of a customer-facing platform serving 100,000+ participants — selecting the stack (Python, Next.js/React, AWS ECS), setting engineering standards, and driving the project from planning to production.
- Architected a dual-sided platform with distinct admin and client portals — admin capabilities included SQL-powered reporting, participant management, configurable bulk upload templates, and integrated third-party communications; the client portal delivered a modern, performant marketplace experience.
- Designed and built a bulk user upsert system enabling batch onboarding of thousands of participants via system-defined templates, eliminating manual enrollment bottlenecks.
- Built an internal CLI tool adopted by the full engineering team to standardize local development, database migrations, and testing workflows — reducing onboarding time and environment inconsistencies.
- Established automated testing standards using Jest and Playwright, reducing production bugs by 90% and setting a quality baseline for the entire team.
- Drove API performance optimization and AWS ECS deployment improvements, reducing average response times by 25% and enabling zero-downtime releases across environments.
