► Senior Software Engineer - Technical Lead
[August 2021 - Present]
@ Monks Technology Services
• Led the architectural refactor of a core API integration across 2 interdependent applications, standardizing data contracts and increasing end-user report accuracy.
• Championed and drove the standardization of the tech stack (Ruby, Docker, frontend libraries) across all 5 applications, reducing onboarding time, simplifying cross-team debugging, and eliminating environment-specific defects
• Designed and socialized a unified Ruby application architecture (spanning Rails and Sinatra apps from 2 to 10+ years old), establishing a logical directory standard for core concerns like ETL transformations, service modules, and API support layers to drastically reduce context switching, accelerate feature development, and streamline cross-application maintenance.
• Instrumented all 5 applications with unified observability using Sentry (Ruby SDK) and Splunk, crafting custom error events and log formatting to improve debugging and performance analysis while scrubbing PII for compliance.
• Collaborated closely with infrastructure teams on a major OS migration, upgrading application dependencies and conducting compatibility testing to ensure a seamless transition, leveraging Docker to replicate and debug production environments and maintain system stability, gaining deep exposure to the full migration lifecycle.
• Serve as the primary technical liaison with the client and PM, managing expectations, prioritizing requests, and coordinating complex, multi-stakeholder releases to ensure seamless delivery
• Mentor and unblock senior developers through consistent 1:1s and technical guidance, fostering a culture of collaborative problem-solving and high-quality, maintainable code.
► Software Developer
[June 2019 - August 2021]
@ Scout Talent Recruitment Software
• Led the SEEK (major ANZ job board) integration as the primary technical owner: coordinated directly with SEEK's developer relations team on API specifications (GraphQL) and rollout strategy, architected the initial implementation, and executed a structured handoff before my departure to ensure a seamless production launch.
• Core developer (1 of 3) for a new greenfield onboarding platform (React/Rails); architected and delivered a white-label forms builder, identifying and proposing a secure PII handling strategy (GDPR/Canadian compliance) to product leadership to mitigate regulatory risk.
• Maintained and extended a large, legacy Rails monolith for dozens of clients, applying SOLID principles and OOP patterns to implement customizations while systematically improving code maintainability and testability.
• Collaborated closely with product and design to translate complex business logic and compliance requirements into scalable, secure technical solutions.
► Software Developer
[May 2018 - May 2019]
@ Casaza
• Engineered a custom WooCommerce shipping plugin using PHP and FedEx API to automate tracking allocation and customer notifications, eliminating manual order updates and improving post-purchase experience for US & Canadian shipments.
• Developed the core admin interface (WordPress/PHP, jQuery) enabling content teams to create shoppable posts with dynamic, vendor-driven pricing tiers, directly supporting promotional and rebate sales strategies.
• Built interactive front-end components from design prototypes, ensuring pixel-perfect execution within the WordPress ecosystem while maintaining performance and code quality.
• Contributed to product planning by defining technical requirements and success metrics for new features, translating business objectives into actionable engineering work.
► Full-Stack Developer
[September 2016 - Jan 2018]
@ OpenReal
• Built full-stack features including a realtor portal for property listing management and an interactive Google Maps interface for property discovery, contributing to core product functionality.
• Optimized application performance through responsive design implementation and asset delivery improvements using AWS S3.
• Managed deployment pipeline on Heroku, implementing background processes and monitoring for key application services.
