Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRick Schubert is a Full Stack Engineer with nine years of experience building and optimising large-scale, cloud-native systems across IoT and consumer platforms. He has a strong background in backend engineering and test automation, driving measurable impact such as $10k/month cost savings from a search-provider migration and cutting mobile app load times from 15s to 50ms via CDN caching. Comfortable across Go, TypeScript, JavaScript and AWS, Rick repeatedly builds tooling and frameworks from scratch—ranging from E2E and API test frameworks to bespoke node testing libraries—and champions CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code. He blends hands-on delivery with team leadership, having led guilds, department OKRs and high-throughput migrations while owning full feature lifecycles. Unusually for an engineer with a tech-first career, he holds a Master’s in German Literature and Linguistics, reflecting a penchant for clear communication and structured thinking.
