Experience

Senior Software Engineer

Vantaca

As a Senior Software Engineer on the "Rev-Up" team at Vantaca, I lead the technical design and implementation of a cutting-edge payment solution within our existing HOA management software.

Working primarily in C# and leveraging the .NET framework, I engineered multiple API services while also introducing Azure Functions into our stack. These functions played a pivotal role in processing background queues and incoming webhooks, allowing our system to scale efficiently and independently of user-facing APIs.

In the initial week of product launch, our payment solution processed over 36,000 transactions, totaling more than $10 million in gross volume, with zero disruptions in service. This achievement underscored the reliability and effectiveness of our solution.

Engineering Lead

Hip eCommerce

At Hip eCommerce, I lead the development of a comprehensive comic book collection tracker tool. This tool seamlessly integrates with our image recognition system, allowing comic book collectors to scan their comics effortlessly for cataloging purposes. Leveraging Kafka, we ingested live price updates to provide users with real-time valuations of their collections, enhancing the platform's utility and user experience.
