I bridge the gap between complex software execution and real-world business logic to ensure your application is 100% secure, functional, and ready to launch. With 7+ years of professional experience handling high-stakes, compliant financial systems—combined with a deep technical stack in Ruby on Rails, React, PostgreSQL, and Docker—I bring a level of analytical precision to QA engineering and full-stack development that standard developers miss. I don't just look for surface-level bugs; I audit the database relationships, custom software frameworks, server environments, and API structures behind them. How I add value to your startup: • Full-Cycle QA & System Audits: Experienced in end-to-end testing across complex SaaS ecosystems, including multi-tenant architectures, shared workspace permissions, real-time sync pipelines, and data-retention boundaries. • AI Infrastructure Integration: Auditing and validating LLM prompt pipelines, exception handling, and routing mechanics for advanced streaming APIs (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI). • Billing & Telemetry Verification: Testing Stripe payment gateways, sandbox subscription flows, and deep event-tracking telemetry via PostHog to safeguard your launch revenue. • Containerized Environment Management: Building clean, isolated Docker environments to keep your local developer stack streamlined and completely unblocked. My Modern Startup Workflow & Tooling: • Agile Project Management (Jira): Fully embedded in Jira workflows, tracking sprints, managing ticket lifecycles, and ensuring clean documentation. • Detailed Jira Ticket Submissions: Writing exhaustive, reproducible bug reports for developers, complete with console logs, network payloads, and exact step-by-step root cause analysis. • Asynchronous Video Reporting (Loom): Delivering daily status reports and recorded Loom walkthroughs so your team stays completely aligned across time zones without needing endless meetings. • Framework Flexibility: Fluent in core ecosystems like Ruby on Rails as well as specialized, custom-built internal software frameworks. Why Hire Me? • The Technical Edge: A 1st Place Hackathon Winner and Lead Backend Architect proficient in JavaScript, Node.js, and Express. I understand code from the inside out, allowing me to isolate the exact root causes of UI friction and backend bugs. • FinTech & Compliance Domain Expertise: Backed by a strong background in mortgage investment processing, credit analysis, and data compliance. I know exactly how to handle sensitive user data, encryption rules, and strict regulatory frameworks. • Reliable & Asynchronous Execution: I thrive in fast-paced startup environments. I excel at autonomous, ticket-based communication to ensure a clear paper trail, maximum execution, and rapid deployment. I am committed to protecting your platform's integrity, saving your engineering hours, and ensuring a bulletproof launch. Let’s connect to discuss your codebase and get your platform fully optimized.
