David R. Full-Stack, AWS, React and Ruby Platforms

My name is David R. and I have over 2 years of experience in the tech industry. I specialize in the following technologies: Web Development, TypeScript, Ruby on Rails, Ruby, React Native, etc.. I hold a degree in Bachelor of Science (BS). Some of the notable projects I’ve worked on include: Parachute Plasma Donation App - Booking & Wallet Flow Improvements, Northeastern SAIL: Experiential Learning Platform for Higher Ed, Automated Survey Data Processing System for Custom Surveys, Contractor Onboarding & Bank Integration - Flexile (by Gumroad). I am based in Tallahassee, United States. I've successfully completed 4 projects while developing at Softaims.

My passion is building solutions that are not only technically sound but also deliver an exceptional user experience (UX). I constantly advocate for user-centered design principles, ensuring that the final product is intuitive, accessible, and solves real user problems effectively. I bridge the gap between technical possibilities and the overall product vision.

Working within the Softaims team, I contribute by bringing a perspective that integrates business goals with technical constraints, resulting in solutions that are both practical and innovative. I have a strong track record of rapidly prototyping and iterating based on feedback to drive optimal solution fit.

I’m committed to contributing to a positive and collaborative team environment, sharing knowledge, and helping colleagues grow their skills, all while pushing the boundaries of what's possible in solution development.

Experience Highlights

Parachute Plasma Donation App - Booking & Wallet Flow Improvements

Worked with Buoy Software on Parachute’s React Native app and Rails GraphQL backend to overhaul their donation booking and wallet flows. I re‑architected the calendar booking API for high performance and scalability, redesigned the wallet UI using WebView to simplify front-end updates, and added a campaign system to drive donor incentives when center bookings dipped. Delivered a robust client experience for critical plasma‑donation flows.

Northeastern SAIL: Experiential Learning Platform for Higher Ed

Led full-stack development for Northeastern University’s SAIL platform, a multi-year, seven-figure initiative supporting self-authored learning for students. I architected and deployed AWS infrastructure, built and maintained the Rails backend, and designed the APIs powering both web and mobile apps. I also led web dev and coordinated with iOS/Android teams to deliver a scalable platform used across the global university system.

Automated Survey Data Processing System for Custom Surveys

Built an internal tool for Morning Consult that automated the processing and export of custom survey data into Excel and PowerPoint. Enabled client teams to tag and extract insights independently, reducing reliance on data science. Delivered faster turnaround on high-impact research outputs used by Fortune 100 clients - supporting over 40% of company revenue.

Contractor Onboarding & Bank Integration - Flexile (by Gumroad)

Contributed to Flexile (by Gumroad) as a full-stack engineer. I built the contractor onboarding flow, including multi-step forms, international bank validation via Stripe, and UI/UX improvements. Refactored legacy Rails + React code for modals, redirects, and flash messaging. Collaborated with designers and product leads, ensuring a smooth, global onboarding experience for contractors.
