Hi! I'm Liz 👋🏼 I'm about as full-stack 🥞 as they come. I started as a QA and automation engineer and now I'm a senior full-stack engineer focusing on Rails and React. Early on as a QA I worked on projects from writing SQL scripts to check data, to automation engineering, to React Native applications, and even helping implement Kafka instances and a team transition to Kubernetes. Then I moved on to development, mostly focusing on Rails / React stacks. I also am very comfortable working in Python. Now I've been a full stack developer for a few years, always carrying my QA mindset with me. I love exploring the ins and outs of a problem, and figuring out where I can pick it apart and expose weaknesses. I'm really great at building relationships with stakeholders, establishing trust and cooperation so that we can all move forward with a project in a very pragmatic way. Pairing with coworkers is always very enjoyable for me. I like the collaboration, but I really value the mentorship the most. Teaching juniors git has become a mainstay for me, as well as coaching them to maintain a calm mindset while debugging, encouraging them to move through issues in a systematic way. And of course I always fit in robust testing, showing folks how to create test suites and pipeline automation that will improve their workflow. Let's talk about how I can contribute to your team and stack 🙌🏻

As a contractor, I have helped several companies implement new features, prototype MVPs, build greenfield apps, clean up technical debt, and standardize the codebase. I am experienced with the full-stack and can also contribute with DevOps (backend) and UI (frontend) implementations. I am an open-source contributor and core member of Bridgetown. Some exciting passion projects I am currently building include a React CMS for Bridgetown, a ViewComponent library for Rails, and an online listing marketplace for my region at centralcoastclassifieds.com.

I started developing web applications 15 years ago, when I was lucky enough to land an internship at a family friend's small software business. The meandering road I've traveled has taken me through statically compiled languages like C#, Java, Objective C and Swift, and more recently brought me to dynamic languages, like Python (with Django) and, of course, Ruby on Rails. Full-stack, back-end, front-end, mobile - I've been around the block in terms of web & mobile tech stacks. I've been a Rails fan for many years, but my opportunity to work with it professionally finally showed up 3 years ago, at my current employer: Printavo. I knew I'd love working in Rails, as it matches the way I think about web - but I underestimated just how much I would fall in love with the framework, Ruby language and community. Recent projects I've built in Rails: User-customizable workflow automation system with triggers and actions, built with extensibility in mind Feature letting customers send email from their own custom domain via our application's messaging system. Verifies domain ownership via DNS settings Account plan-level feature gates, which can be overridden on an individual account basis Introduced Pundit scopes and policies to better describe resource access within our app Migrated from custom-rolled user activity tracking system to PaperTrail gem - transformed several years of data into new format, and wrote new controllers & views to serve PaperTrail audit log data Rebuilt and enhanced global search feature, moving from ElasticSearch 1.7 to a pure Postgres-driven solution. Implemented fuzzy search using using trigrams and full text search using tsvector
