• At Sprint, I began as a full-stack software engineer and quickly became involved in handling the operations side of the engineering department, setting up logging and monitoring solutions, making broad infrastructure changes, and revamping the system architecture to bring better resilience and performance.
• Part of my responsibilities also included mentoring and developing junior members of the team. This was relatively easy for me, as the engineers in question were all bright, hard-working, and eager to learn.
• I left Sprint in August 2020 to pursue a role at Torn LTD, a company building a web-based MMORPG. Since a teenager, I have been passionate about both MMORPGs and web technology, so the opportunity to work at a company building a web-based MMORPG was too good to pass up, in spite of the amazing team I would be leaving behind at Sprint.
