Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolScott Borecki is a Senior Software Engineer in New York City specializing in Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, and API development, with five years of software experience and a knack for refactoring. He transitioned from a decade-long career as a geotechnical engineer, bringing rigorous problem-solving, project management, and attention to detail to backend architecture and data modeling. At Weedmaps he progressed rapidly through engineering levels, while prior consulting work involved building custom SQL- and JavaScript-driven web solutions and complex data ingestion from BigQuery and Google Sheets. His creative side as a freelance audio engineer informs a practical, systems-thinking approach—whether tuning application performance or an acoustically treated studio. Comfortable translating ambiguous requirements into production-ready systems, he enjoys tackling technical debt and designing pragmatic APIs that scale. Outside work he competes in pinball leagues and experiments with audio projects, a reminder that his engineering instincts span both code and craft.
