Experience

1. Senior Software Engineer - Ii

   Life360

   Apr 2022 — Present

   Started off on release team. Beyond the assigned duties, I did the following on my own accord- Configured internal app and SDK projects to use Gradle composite builds so developers could simultaneously work on app and SDK without having to do local SDK release to consume in app project - Set up the Android project to use Gradle build cache on CI for faster buildsAfter moving to mobile development team, I proposed the following improvements to the Life360 codebase- Wrote a script to demonstrate custom networking code and module generation for OpenAPI3 specficiations, including polymorphic deserialization support - Proposed transition from using the built-in`kotlin.Result` type to a proper `Result` monad allowing for better error handling semantics and more of a Railway-oriented programming pattern - Developed a POC for using networking directly from JVM instead of requiring the app to be built to test out networking code
