At Venmo, we re working to build a payment experience that's simple, delightful and connected. Since our founding in 2009, we ve quickly grown from an idea hatched by two college roommates who wanted a better way to pay each other back to the go-to digital wallet that s known and loved by millions. What started off as a simple SMS platform to send and receive money has evolved into a social payments app allowing people to pay, split and share their experiences.

I have over 20 years of experience developing LAMP based applications. I started developing CGI web applications in the late 90's using PERL and then gradually switched to PHP and Python. Over the course of my career, I've found that most server builds greatly neglect their resources and have enjoyed customizing those environments to take full advantage of their potential. I have used and am comfortable with most software development environments but prefer open source software as it allows me to learn how the entire system technology stack operates. I love figuring out how people achieved certain results and then improving upon what they've accomplished. Specialties: PHP, Python, MySQL, Apache, Lighttpd, Nginx, Linux, AWS
