In January 2022, I joined Printful's SaaS Team to work on their paid subscriptions and related advanced features.

However, in May of that same year, after only 4 months in the company, I was offered the opportunity to rotate to the Design Maker team, one of the core teams of the company. There, I have faced more demanding tasks and constant challenges, which have helped me grow greatly, while also learning a lot more about architecture and complex software design and development.

Here are some key highlights of my role at Printful:

• Key figure and reference back-end expert within the team. Highly valued team member, as highlighted during performance reviews.
• Leading key company projects and various teams of developers, including cutting edge integrations with AI tools and APIs.
• Performing technical and architectural analyses. Research, viability assessments, technical implementation documents, etc.
• Developing and maintaining multiple complex and interconnected pieces of software, following SOLID principles and taking into account good architecture, maintainability and reusability.
• Optimization of code performance, database queries and related elements. Proactive monitoring and profiling, proposing solutions and improvements.
• Refactoring existing components and code to improve the general quality and reliability of the codebase.
• Writing comprehensive unit and integrationtests for every task.
• Collaboration with international teams of dozens of developers within the company.
• Participating proactively in the agile processes of the team and work organization, in constant collaboration with the leads and PMs.
