Santiago P.

In my role at Railz, I participated in the design and development of user-facing platforms including Railz Connect/Sites and core authentication systems, integrating with major platforms like QuickBooks, Plaid, and Zoho Books.

I spearheaded the creation of a scalable multi-tenancy architecture, significantly boosting enterprise customer functionality and satisfaction, and I played a key role in the overhaul of our system logs, which immediately improved our debugging capabilities and later supported a significant scale-up in data processing.

My collaboration with the Product and Design teams resulted in the launch of several new features such as the Railz Sandbox V2 and Zoho Books integration, along with major security enhancements.

Additionally, I managed internal improvements such as the revamping of the TypeScript codebase and enhancing automation scripts, contributing to increased productivity across teams.

Throughout my tenure, I enhanced my skills in project management, cross-team communication, system design, API versioning, and security, and increased my proficiency in technologies like TypeScript, ReactJS, Node.js, MySQL, and MongoDB.

I played a significant role in the technological and operational direction of this early-stage startup. Ranging from designing and developing key features to coordinating the development team and even serving as the ultimate support contact for end-users.

Some projects I can mention are the re-architecture of the handwriting module, that the startup, to this day, still offers, and the lion’s share of the note-taking (the main module of the application) improvements, that greatly improved the user experience across the service, according to consumer feedback.
