Professional Summary

Senior software engineer with 7 years of distributed-systems experience across consumer and B2B SaaS. Owner of payment-platform reliability and on-call ladder for a 14-engineer team. Recent work cut p95 checkout latency from 820ms to 280ms while reducing infra cost by 22% through deliberate sync→async migration. Optimizing for high-leverage platform work with strong on-call discipline.

Experience

Senior Software Engineer·Acme SaaS·San Francisco, CA
Mar 2023 – Present
  • Led migration of synchronous fraud-scoring call out of checkout hot path; cut p95 latency from 820ms to 280ms while preserving consistency guarantees via shadow-traffic validation over 10 days.
  • Owned on-call rotation redesign; reduced page volume 60% and time-to-recovery 50% by introducing structured runbooks and tier-1.5 internal queue.
  • Mentored two engineers through promotion to Senior; both now own production services independently with on-call coverage.
  • Argued against rewriting fraud model in same quarter — kept the rollback story clean and freed three months of capacity for the next bet.
Software Engineer·Beacon Health·Remote
Jun 2020 – Feb 2023
  • Migrated Postgres → DynamoDB on a hot read-path service: zero customer-visible regressions, 6-month staged rollout with feature-flag-gated traffic shaping.
  • Designed feature-flag platform consolidation; reduced 4 separate flag systems to one, deprecated 3 over 4 quarters.
  • Built distributed-tracing onboarding playbook used by 12+ engineers; cut time-to-first-trace from 2 weeks to 2 days.
Software Engineer Intern·Beacon Health·Remote
May 2019 – Aug 2019
  • Shipped a customer-facing inventory dashboard reducing manual support requests 40% week-over-week post-launch.

Why this resume works

The summary leads with the trade-off — "deliberate sync→async migration" — not the result. That signals senior judgment. Experience bullets each carry a specific metric and a context line. The "argued against rewriting fraud model" bullet is rare and high-signal: hiring managers read it as judgment about scope. Mentorship outcomes (two promoted directly under) are quantified, not vague.

Why this resume works

Modern variant — more visual hierarchy via name + title block, color accent on links and section borders. Works well for tech-leaning candidates targeting design-conscious companies (consumer SaaS, design-focused B2B). Same content, more polish.
