Senior🎓
Top SchoolScott Baar is a Senior Backend Engineer with 12 years of experience building resilient, production-grade systems across startups and scale-ups from San Diego. He has led backend and integration efforts at companies like Veho and Cover, delivering Twilio Flex call center migrations, complex Lambdas and Lex chatbots, and Terraform infrastructure that enabled zero-downtime rollouts and measurable support cost reductions. Comfortable across Ruby on Rails, TypeScript, AWS (DynamoDB, SQS, Lambda, API Gateway), and mobile backends, he’s shipped payment and PCI-compliant flows, subscription billing, and revenue-driving ad services. Scott combines hands-on coding with technical leadership—owning end-to-end systems, coordinating cross-functional teams, and supervising offshore maintenance. Notably, he’s taken novel features from prototype to production (auto-refinance comparator, custom billing) that opened new revenue verticals without recurring internal costs. He brings a pragmatic, metrics-oriented approach to designing recoverable, automatable infrastructure and customer-facing workflows.
