Tammy Lau
When Tommy isn't shredding his banjo, he's crafting exceptional code. I can always count on Tommy to deliver high-quality code within the specified timeframe. He's an invaluable team member who readily lends a hand to assist with debugging, thanks to his approachable and friendly demeanor. In addition to his technical prowess, Tommy possesses remarkable insights that have led to significant cost savings for the company, amounting to tens of thousands of dollars. He excels at fostering interdepartmental communication, frequently extending his help to colleagues beyond the engineering team. Tommy's involvement in a variety of non-engineering projects is a testament to his willingness to contribute wherever he can. I am genuinely grateful to have had the opportunity to collaborate with Tommy and can only envision a future filled with success for him.

- Designed and developed a full suite of Credit Card features including authorization approval logic, repayments, reward programs, dynamic fraud and risk protections, and many more. These were built with a Hasura GraphQL server, an Apollo remote server, as well as various AWS lambdas. - As an early engineer, I helped lead the development of a full application rebuild. This migration moved us from an Express.js, MongoDB Backend to a PostgreSQL, Hasura, and Apollo Backend with various AWS microservices. The improvements in our App were crucial to securing our Series B funding. - Led the migration of legacy codeless automations in Zapier to multiple robust app integrations, enhancing visibility and efficiency while minimizing disruptions. Integrations included Stripe, Twilio, and Zendesk. This saved the company over $30,000 a year. - As an early engineer, interviewed new team members and grew the team to over 10 engineers within 6 months. - Developed Salesforce integrations using Serverless Lambdas that subscribed to a SQS based on internal app events, enabling our Sales team to efficiently manage our growing applicant base. - Implemented and improved authentication services with Auth0 and NextAuth.js, which included authentication methods such as Google Oauth, MFA, One Time Password, and Email + Password.
