I am a software engineer and entrepreneur with a background in scaling technology platforms. I co-founded Agora, a company dedicated to streamlining compensation and pay equity, which was acquired by Payscale in 2022. Previously, I held engineering roles at Instacart and Checkr, where I focused on platform growth and development.

Senior Software Engineer at Checkr, Inc.
May 2015 – Dec 2018Engineer #2. I was mainly focused on delivering high quality end to end products and features. Top contributor on many products and internal tools. I had the opportunity to lead different projects including: - Application Flow - https://apply.checkr.com - ruby / react / redux This is where every candidate input their information needed to start a background check - Verification Portal - https://verifications.checkr.com - ruby / react This is a portal where applicants can upload additional documents necessary to resume their background checks - Applicant Portal - https://applicants.checkr.com - ruby / react Where applicants can track the status of their background checks and download a PDF copy - PDF generation tool - puppeteer Gather background check results and combine them into a beautiful PDF In November 2017 I started Checkr's new consumer initiative called Better Future - app.betterfuture.com. The idea was to offer a free background check and match candidates with job opportunities that fit their background. I was responsible for building and launching the MVP in a week and worked on adding features in order to find product-market fit over the last year. The project was then shut down in January 2019 and only maintained since.
