Software Engineer @ Plaid // mingslogar.com

Sandy, Utah, United States

I'm currently leading a team which is primarily responsible for building and scaling tooling and services to support continued development of Plaid's integrations with financial institutions in ways that minimize touchpoints with sensitive information and promote engineer velocity.

We use tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Kibana in our day-to-day work as well as Typescript, Go, and Python running in Docker on ECS and K8s. Most of us have also spent an inordinate amount of time writing very small functions in Bash for our service startup scripts (I still Google every time I have to write a conditional; don't judge me) or fighting YAML for our legacy CloudFormation templates.

We're hiring! <a href="https://plaid.com/careers">https://plaid.com/careers</a>

Software Engineer II

Software Engineer I

QA Engineer Intern

Assembled expensive furniture for rich people and tried not to break the lamps. Also developed a nearly-obsessive passion for hanging perfectly-balanced walls of art. It might not help me excel at your company, but it does make my house look nice.

-  Maintained inventory records for the Salt Lake showroom

Alice Lane Home Collection

Stock Associate

A year and change of playing 3D Tetris with 300lb freight pallets. Developed a twitch whenever encountering the clearance aisle of any clothing retailer. Also, even though I know the "correct" way to fold a shirt, I still just leave laundry in the dryer until I'm ready to wear it.

-  Support Associate of the Month (June 2015)
