Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLouise Rains is an experienced software engineer and owner-manager with over a decade building Ruby on Rails applications, web services, and simulation tooling across startups and enterprise teams. She has a strong background in backend systems (Rails, Sinatra, PostgreSQL, MongoDB) and legacy-to-modern migrations, having moved large internal operations from Tcl/OpenACS to Rails and reduced support load with self-service tools. Her early career in simulation software (AutoMod) gave her deep C/C++ and domain expertise, and she pairs that with practical front-end skills in JavaScript, Flex/AS3 and UI work. A Harvard ALM in IT, she combines teaching and technical support experience with hands-on engineering, making her adept at translating complex requirements into reliable customer-focused solutions. Based in Massachusetts, she now runs Burlington Electric Quilters while continuing to apply engineering discipline to both product and operational problems.
