Software Engineer in San Francisco

Hi, I'm JD. I am a Software Engineer in the San Francisco bay area with six+ years experience across data engineering, back-end, and full-stack applications. I'm passionate about helping others, teaching, as well as improving the 'developer experience' across the board - for professionals and aspiring developers alike. For two years I spent time at First Orion in the big data space, protecting users of First Orion products from malicious phone calls. My team designed and implemented the analysis and protection from spam and scam calls in major telecom networks that are still in use today. I then spent four years at Google working to support users internally through my team's products and frameworks, as well as facilitating courses to teach best practice frameworks for their projects. I spent a lot of time working cross-functionally as a developer and design lead for several projects. My goal is to keep helping others through my work as much as possible. I'm mostly interested in remote work or hybrid positions in San Francisco, focused on back-end design or data engineering (but I can do full-stack as well). If my experience piques your interest or you'd like to know more, shoot me an email or message me on LinkedIn (link in resume) :)
