Summary
Claudia Maniscalchi is a Senior Software Engineer based in New York with eight years of experience building responsive, user-focused web applications using Ruby on Rails and modern JavaScript stacks like React/Redux. She brings a rare blend of product-minded front-end craft and back-end rigor, informed by a prior decade in digital ad operations where she negotiated vendor partnerships and led complex migrations. Claudia is a disciplined TDD practitioner who values planning, clear communication, and creative problem-solving—approaching engineering as both puzzle-solving and visual composition. Her work emphasizes API-driven architectures, performant UI, and pragmatic tooling (JWT, Postgres, ActiveRecord) to ship reliable features at scale. A Flatiron School alumna with a background in musicology and literature, she leverages cross-disciplinary thinking to design elegant interfaces and developer workflows. Notably, her transition from ad ops to senior engineering roles demonstrates strong adaptability and an ability to translate business constraints into technical solutions.
