Staff Engineer 2025 -
Lead Software Engineer 2025
Senior Software Engineer II 2022 - 2025
FloSports is a live sports streaming platform with 100,000+ events per year across 20+ sports. I worked across product and platform teams building frontend web, web/mobile backends, data infrastructure, and developer tooling.
The scale here - both in userbase and project scope - gave me the opportunity to work on projects that span multiple teams, often serving as the glue between them. I doubled down on my generalist skillset, working all across the stack to help deliver products.
