about

i am a software engineer with a focus on backend applications and systems. most of my experience is working in python and typescript frameworks. i also have solid full-stack experience and i'm currently working at lineleap- an nyc-based startup that that is revolutionizing the nightlife experience for hundreds of thousands of users across the US.

at a previous company, teampay, i led the design and development of their executive card product, catalyst- a product that enables a first-class purchasing experience for executives (think apple credit card!) i am also responsible for architecting large portions of teampay's payments system, driving millions of $$$ in spend. expanding the payments system, designing it's software architecture, and improving the evolvability of the codebase has become an accomplishement that i am very proud of!

i love designing systems, building algorithms and solving difficult engineering problems, but i am also a musician. i am an avid listener of all genres of music, and i love to produce and perform mostly soul-adjacent genres. my artist alias, slan, has reached audiences in 7 different countries! i have an ep currently in the works to be released in 2023!
