Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCory Mcdonald is a Senior Software Engineer and former engineering manager based in the San Francisco Bay Area with a five-year professional tenure and deep hands-on experience in Ruby on Rails, payments, and subscription platforms. He has led teams through complex migrations—moving one million active subscriptions from Recurly to Shopify—and grown a payments team from one to eight while prioritizing diversity and remote collaboration across five time zones. Cory blends architecture and execution: he’s driven long-term maintainability and unification efforts, centralized tech documentation, introduced distributed on-call processes, and integrated GitHub Copilot into engineering workflows. His background includes building scalable creator- and rewards-focused systems at Brave for over a million users and implementing revenue recognition and prepaid amortization logic for subscription billing. Notably, he pairs managerial instincts with continued individual contributor roles, recently transitioning into senior engineering positions focused on product delivery and system reliability.
