Summary
Merik Woodmansee is a software engineer with a decade of experience who currently builds software at Google after honing full-stack skills at startups using React, Redux, Node, and Postgres. He has a hands-on background across web and mobile (including React Native) and led a security-sensitive migration to AWS Cognito, demonstrating both product-mindedness and operational ownership. Merik’s curiosity spans algorithms, data structures, digital circuitry, and machine learning—areas he studies deeply beyond day-to-day engineering. Prior roles in facilities and production gave him practical logistics and project coordination experience, making him comfortable translating complex operational constraints into reliable technical solutions. Based in Frederick, Maryland, he pairs a film production BA with formal software training from Hack Reactor, a mix that fuels his creative approach to engineering problems.
