Software Engineer II
• Built and deployed a multi-invoice payment endpoint, enabling users to pay multiple invoices with a single Stripe charge, reducing API calls to Stripe by over 60% and streamlining internal money movement. • Designed and integrated $1 authentication logic for pay-as-you-go payment flows, incorporating Stripe SCA (Strong Customer Authentication), and partnered with the OTA team to roll it out, reducing payment failures and improving user onboarding. • Diagnosed and resolved inefficiencies in the Payments service by analyzing error trends; revamped invoice handling logic to support incremental invoice generation, replacing the prior sequential structure. • Took ownership of critical payment flows (including deferred pay and pay-as-you-go) following team downsizing; maintained delivery velocity and preserved continuity across in-progress initiatives.
