Automattic

Role: Senior Software Developer / Project Lead

I joined WooCommerce branch of Automattic to help build and scale WooCommerce Payments: a product with an ambition to democratise commerce by enabling payments between anyone anywhere in the world. I contribute to every part of the product, from customer’s experience to scalable back-end to developer experience. As a part of a team of seven people:

  • I implemented new functionality both on a server backend and on client plugin.
  • I took ownership of the several feature projects and managed them to successful completion, collaborating with multiple teams.
  • I worked on CI/CD processes to improve deployment process.
  • I performed code reviews, ensuring code testability, maintainability and reusability, avoiding unnecessary complexities and sharing feedback about the approach.
  • I onboarded developers into the team and mentored my peers on various engineering topics.
