Full stack, GoFundMe ProJan 2025 – Oct 2026

• Technical lead for four product areas in moving GoFundMe Pro from classy.org to pro.gofundme.com (Nov 2025 – Mar 2026), brought on by a senior staff engineer as the platform’s subject-matter expert: Campaign Studio and the rendering engine for new campaigns, the live events platform, the Pro Services backend that call centers use on behalf of enterprise nonprofits, and the developer documentation site. The move touched 27 repositories, under millions of daily transactions, and used a dual-domain setup on Cloudflare, CloudFront, Route53, ECS and Lambda for flag-driven rollout and fast rollback, which proved out when a rollback restored service for an enterprise customer’s weekend live event without compromising the migration timeline.
• Led the redesign of the annual summary receipts, about 2 million generated each January: moved them from a Lambda workload that timed out and retried into an ECS Fargate task on the primary API, won buy-in from the architecture decision makers, and added what wasn’t possible before: receipts on demand, requested by donors or sent by nonprofit admins on their behalf, and year-to-date summaries. The January 2026 run had no issues or incidents.
• Cut CI pipeline time from 17 to 10 minutes (about 41%) through dependency upgrades, a pnpm migration and selective test execution, and added ephemeral preview environments for AI-agent and developer iteration.
• Built reporting, data and onboarding features in the admin nonprofit administrators use to run their fundraising.
• On Post-Donate, worked on everything a donor sees after giving: the thank-you page, transactional emails, and the start of share attribution.
• Used Claude across the development lifecycle, from PRDs and scoping to QA.
