Senior Software Engineer · Broken Arrow, OK

Hi, I'm Dorinda. I make the web work.

For more than two decades I've designed, built, and maintained the web — these days as a senior engineer building Ruby on Rails services and APIs in healthcare. Curious by nature, and quietly delighted by a well-solved problem.

What I do best

Years of full-stack craft, a fondness for clean solutions, and a habit of leaving every codebase — and teammate — better than I found them.

Full-Stack Engineering

Ruby on Rails services, RESTful APIs, PostgreSQL, and the background-job plumbing that keeps it all humming.

View skills

AI-Assisted Development

I treat AI as a genuine collaborator, not a gimmick — faster iteration, sharper review, my engineering judgment always at the wheel.

Mentorship & Teamwork

Pair programming, thoughtful PR reviews, and one-on-ones. Helping a teammate level up is my favorite kind of win.

About me

Two decades of building for the web
