Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJane Threefoot is a back-end Python software engineer with four years of experience building reliable automation and data pipelines for biotech and networking platforms. Based in Melrose, MA, she currently contributes to EDB’s PostgreSQL tooling—having improved the Barman backup/recovery client and shipped v2.16 enhancements that make diagnostics and cloud backups more robust. Previously at Arc Bio she automated ~90% of core functional tests, consolidated CI pipelines from 21 into two reusable modules, and built internal tools that let nontechnical teams query scientific datasets without SQL. Her early work at AT&T and Carnegie Mellon shows a knack for practical tooling—from schema-driven REST clients and microservice refactors to hardware-driven C and Node.js prototypes—paired with clear documentation and training. She combines attention to reliability with a talent for turning repetitive workflows into maintainable, low-code solutions.
