About
Senior backend engineer with approximately 7 years of experience, previously worked at True Link Financial and Uber. I've worked across the stack as a frontend, full-stack, and backend engineer. Graduated from Reed College with a BA in Mathematics-Economics, and completed App Academy coding bootcamp in San Francisco back in 2015. I'm a big supporter of increasing diverse representation in the industry and hope to be a valuable resource to make that happen.

He is incredibly knowledgeable and he helped me focus on what is important to reach my goals. After a year of getting no responses and rejections, his suggestions and feedback helped me focus on what was important and I was able to reach my goal within a month. I'm really happy that I decided to reach out to Torrey.
