WORK EXPERIENCE

LATEST ROLES

I've recently transitioned my role from a traditional software engineer to a Product Engineer. I find that listening to customers, looking at data, collaborating with a product manager and product designer has been the most fun and impactful way to write code.

Lead Software Engineer @ Casper Studios

January 2023 - Present

My contribution in Casper Studios encompasses the whole project cycle from initial discovery call, developing the app all the way to hand off and continuous discovery and development through product data. My projects have generated $170,000+ in company revenue and the deployment of 4 greenfield startups.

Senior Software Engineer @ Dub

Apr 2023 - Oct 2023

dub is the first regulated copy-trading platform in the United States. I joined as a short stint hire to help with additional work before releasing to the public, I worked on product analytics, onboarding experience, bug fixes & improvements.

Senior Software Engineer @ Plentina

Apr 2022 - Apr 2023

Plentina Financial offers an automated US SEC-registered wealth advisory designed for immigrants and global diasporas. Due to my productivity I was in charge for handling 6 different products - Checkout, Developer Portal, Merchant, Invest, Operator and Profile. The startup eventually had a successful exit!

PRAISES

There are awesome engineers, and there are AWESOME engineers.

Sean definitely falls in the latter category. I'm consistently amazed by his capacity to process information and vomit them out in words, in actions, and in code. He's a very rare gem that can consistently create tremendous value to anything he touches. He can work with various tech stacks and is able to articulate his thoughts well without being antagonistic. Most engineers are not good at managing their emotions yet Sean is able to do just that, hence allowing the engineers, designers, and product managers to collaborate very well. There was never a dull moment working with Sean and I consider myself tremendously fortunate to have worked with him. I would work with him again in a heartbeat!

PERSONAL PROJECTS

Things I've made.

The past few years of craziness in my personal life and imposter syndrome have made me hesitant to share my work to the public. I'm looking to change that and show what I can give to the world.
