Peter Ortiz is a founding engineer and seasoned software professional with 11 years of experience building full-stack web applications and leading engineering teams from Orlando. He has deep Ruby on Rails backend expertise and a track record of shipping product-facing systems—migration to Stripe, partner integrations, and a high-usage health check API—while mentoring engineers and driving architectural decisions. At TeamSnap he progressed from junior full-stack roles to technical lead and engineering manager, owning partner integrations, payment migrations, and performance optimizations used at scale. He contributes to open source (notably enhancements to the Socify Rails social platform), blending front-end UX improvements with backend controller work. Curious and pragmatic, he combines hands-on coding with people leadership and a proven ability to deprecate legacy systems without disrupting customers.
