Hi, my name is Ben Orozco. I am a Computer Science Engineer specialized in Full Stack web development, passionate on making and launching software products, leading engineering teams and leveraging technology to tackle big real-world problems. Portfolio: https://benoror.com/portfolio

I am passionate of full stack development (APIs, backend, DevOps, front-end, UI/UX) for the past 9+ years, mainly in Ruby on Rails, Node.js, Elixir and Javascipt frameworks (React, Angular, Ember).

I am ready for my next career challenge! Some fun projects I have been part of that might be relevant:

  • Helped planning, architecture design and hands-on programming of a full AuthN/AuthZ identity provider based on OAuth2/OpenID standards, to support SSO (Single Sign-on) and User Management across many EdTech applications.

  • Launched a Node.js Tax/Invoicing lambda micro-service in record time that ended up replacing a big chunk of a Java monolith codebase and serving 1000's or requests per minute by relying on minimal footprint and horizontal auto-scaling. Developed using TDD and ~90% code coverage. Open sourced it here: https://github.com/benoror/taxi-driver

  • Designed & developed an insurance claims management MVP system built on top of an Elixir API (Phoenix, Ecto, Guardian auth, Inquisitor JSONAPI, ExVCR tests) using Test-driven Development, Domain-driven Design (bounded contexts) and JavaScript (Ember.js) for the frontend

  • Planning, architecture and development of several other micro-services in Elixir, Java & Ruby to support diverse workflows like billing, invoicing, inventory management and data catalogs

  • Experience implementing payments gateways such as Stripe, Conekta and PayPal for subscription-based SaaS software written in Ruby on Rails and Node.js

  • Built a cost accounting, finance and sales tool for a family business (construction company) on top of Airtable and JAMStack (Javascript, APIs & Markup)

  • Recently wrote a fully-tested web scraper in a couple of days for another job interview, built in Node.js using Cheerio, DayJS, Jest and PollyJS (for Integration tests)

Would love to chat more deeply about them!
