Summary
Coral Peterson is a Staff Software Engineer with 14 years building scalable full‑stack web applications across Java, C#, Node.js, React, and PostgreSQL. She has driven production-critical projects at Redfin, Luum, LevelTen Energy and others—delivering SaaS features used by dozens of companies, leading greenfield Node/TypeScript work, and improving performance with database indexing that yielded 20x faster page loads. Comfortable both leading small teams and working cross-functionally with Product and Design, she emphasizes maintainable code, high test coverage, and pragmatic API and permission design. Coral also has a knack for untangling tricky integrations and timezone/date handling in JavaScript—an often-overlooked source of production bugs—and for reducing developer friction through tooling and testing improvements. Based in Seattle, she is seeking her next role where engineering rigor meets meaningful impact in products that help people.
