Summary
Elizabeth Chan is a Senior Software Engineer with seven years of experience blending full‑stack Ruby on Rails and React development with a strong foundation in accounting and financial systems. Her background as a Certified Public Accountant and hands‑on experience with SAP, BlackLine, and Hyperion inform pragmatic, audit‑friendly engineering decisions—most notably contributing to a new fund type that generated $22.6M and integrations that improved payment processing reliability. At Upright she’s progressed from junior Rails developer to mentoring peers, leading debugging practices, and implementing serverless pub/sub solutions with AWS Lambdas and DynamoDB for webhook reliability. Comfortable across frontend and backend stacks, she pairs attention to detail and logical problem solving with product collaboration and occasional scrum leadership. A world traveler who pivoted into coding after a gap year, she brings curiosity, persistence, and a preference for remote-friendly work that supports her goal of traveling while working.
