Senior/Lead Eng/Co-Founder: Deep rails experience that comes with empathy, humor, and a bit of chaos

Seasoned code wrangler with over a decade in Ruby on Rails and a past life as a social worker and policy researcher. I've got a knack for translating geek speak for humans and wrangling stakeholder needs into delighted users and maintainable code. Looking to land in a place where code meets impact. Full stack developer that has spent over a decade in the Ruby/Rails ecosystem. I lean ops to backend, but I can get in there and wrangle JS components and CSS if need be. I often wear at least a little bit of a product manager hat, have been a team lead on large projects, and I even try to remember to write documentation and technical briefs. I'm longwinded in slack, shy in person, didactic and friendly in code reviews, and occasionally down a rabbithole. Loves: Wrangling weird bugs and annoying APIs, refactoring, clear code (for the humans) and good tests (for the robots), figuring out the best places to deliver maximum impact and shipping quickly, teaching myself new things, compassionate communication and collaboration with multiple stockholders, making weird things happen in the CI pipeline Special superpowers: T-shaped generalist that still geeks out on learning new things, sniffing out something that isn't a problem yet but definitely will be (and I don't mean premature optimization), care a lot about readable code. Worked as a social worker for a decade, there's more soft skills than people might think in getting software out the door. Not so loves: JS in general, jerks, arrogance, watching junior developers not get the support they need and thinking it is their fault, refreshing staging for an hour wondering why my debugger isn't getting hit. -- Have worked in startups at all stages of their life cycle as both an introverted grumpy solo developer and team leader, helped make product decisions, mentored other developers, deleted prod a few times, etc. I chafe a bit at schedules, but occasionally I'll figure out a big that would have been a big problem in the future at 3am and just fix it. Love fixing those things. I can meeting during normal human hours though. -- Open to short and long term contracts and FTE for the right fit. Prefer chill flat organizations where everyone likes and respects each other and just gets stuff done. I've shipped features faster at those organizations than any that were focused on relentless hustle. -- Tell me why you believe in your tech and I'll tell you about one of my weird side projects like a Led Zeppelin button or a confessional that floats in the air. -- Have PhD level statistics classes buried in my brain somewhere, know my way around python and some data analysis, have built ETL pipelines - if it has to be done, I'll try to figure out a way to get it done. And the longer you hang around this world, you realize the most important programming language is being able to talk to people in kind and useful ways. -- Senior enough to know that sometimes it's the code you don't write that solves the problem ;) Junior enough to still get excited every time I make LEDs blink with magic words.

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 🙌🏻

Rails Developer specializing in Solutions Architecture and Security

My developer origin story began when I was a student pursuing my Bachelor of Science degree in Information Systems. During that time, I discovered my passion for using software to solve business needs, and have been honing my skills ever since. I'm proud to have earned a Master of Science degree in Cybersecurity Management and to have gained 6 years of experience in software development. One recent milestone that I'm particularly proud of is my work as a subject matter expert and primary point-of-contact for cross-sell projects targeting over 6 million users. I was responsible for leading the software development initiative, which required me to effectively communicate complex technical requirements to non-technical stakeholders. I'm proud to say that the project was a success, meeting all the demanding development objectives within tight schedules. As a developer, I'm always looking to learn and stay up-to-date with the latest technologies. One thing that I recently learned is how to use Ansible to develop robust, scalable, modular, and API-centric infrastructures. I've integrated this knowledge into my work, allowing me to improve my development processes and deliver even better solutions. What I'm most passionate about as a developer is the opportunity to create elegant solutions to complex problems. I thrive on the challenge of solving problems that others can't and am always looking for new ways to innovate. I believe that my unique skills and approach to software development allow me to deliver solutions that others can't. For example, I'm an analytical and driven problem-solver who can easily communicate complex technical requirements to non-technical stakeholders, and I'm dedicated to achieving demanding development objectives within tight schedules while producing impeccable code. In summary, what makes me unique as a developer is my combination of technical expertise, passion for problem-solving, and ability to effectively communicate with stakeholders. I'm always striving to improve my skills and knowledge, and I'm confident that I can bring value to any development project.
