experience

Maxwell Financial Labs - Senior Software Engineer, 2021 - 2025

  • Worked as part of a small team to implement a full redesign of a highly customizable enterprise-grade mortgage application experience using modern React patterns and redux toolkit to query a json-api spec compliant rails backend. Acted as technical lead on large aspects of the project, mentoring junior engineers, breaking down work, and coordinating engineering resources to complete that work.
  • Enhanced an existing loan pricing product to integrate with a third-party fees engine to add realistic closing costs to specific loan products. The React SPA triggers sagapatterned events via Apollo GraphQL to call Rails micro-services to fetch and parse fees data.
  • Implemented key aspects of a fully redesigned borrower experience which greatly improved our borrower drop-off rate and overall satisfaction with our product. Worked closely with our designer to ensure the highest quality product was delivered while using strong software design patterns for easy developer understanding and future iteration.

DigniFi - Senior Software Engineer, 2015 - 2021

  • Implemented a redesigned customer application process using React/Redux to improve the overall customer experience, while also integrating a new third-party data source to improve fraud detection and customer identification.
  • Designed, developed, and maintained a micro-services application to connect with credit and alternative credit providers. The application uses the ServerlessJS library to deploy node functions into AWS; specifically using ApiGateway, Lambda, RDS, and S3
  • Developed a ReactNative POC application targeting our primary sales channel to enable those users to more easily perform tasks required for loan finalization as well as manage the payments of incentives offered by DigniFi.
