Over the years at Procore, I have had the opportunity to explore various roles and gain diverse experiences. I started my journey as a backend intern and transitioned to a full-time backend engineer in the Financials Division. This role provided me with a solid foundation in backend development. After some time, my curiosity about infrastructure and cloud engineering grew. I was fortunate to join the infrastructure team, where I learned something new every day. This experience broadened my understanding of the underlying systems that support our applications. Eventually, I returned to the Financials Division, joining a new team. This move allowed me to apply my expanded skill set and continue growing within the company. Each transition has enriched my professional journey, making me a more versatile and knowledgeable engineer.
