Software Engineer Intern

  • Built backend infrastructure in Scala which laid the groundwork for allowing any team to send in-app prompts to users. Then wrote the backend logic for the first use case of this infrastructure, leading to ~500,000 users/day being prompted to make their account more secure by confirming or reviewing their email. When users confirm their email it makes their account more secure because if they forget their password, they are able to get a new one.
  • Interacted between multiple micro-services using Thrift to create remote procedural (RPC) calls across teams.
  • Wrote design documentation for changing requirements, working across multiple teams for approval.
