As the second engineer on Rippling’s Benefits Deductions team, I worked across both the frontend and backend to modernize and dramatically improve performance.
The Benefits dashboard was initially taking nearly 40 seconds to load — I re-architected key components in React and TypeScript, optimized backend queries, and brought that down to just 6 seconds.
On the backend, I introduced static typing across the Python services, improving reliability and catching issues before they reached production. I also refactored large portions of legacy JavaScript into TypeScript, decoupling the frontend from direct database access and strengthening long-term maintainability.
Over time, I helped close more than 200 customer-reported issues, stabilizing one of the company’s most critical product areas.
