My Work
For my 12 weeks on Stripe, I was a crew member of the Connect Platform Billing and Monetization team which covers a whole breadth of work across domains across the company. My responsibility for the summer was the GA (General Availability) launch for our team's new and highly-asked for Platform Pricing Tools product. This task entailed fullstack development in the Connect Dashboard and thorough feature testing along with collaboration with our Product Manager.
When I started the project, there was a working implementation of the platform pricing tools product, but it had been developed by many different engineers over a couple years. My first task was to spin up on the whole project and and to understand the entire tech stack. There were many places of duplicate, redundant, and unused code (it would be my final task to clean that up). Eventually, I began implementing new features and consolidating the different versions of the product that existed. This involved learning a lot about the use cases, and the specific needs of our clients. I found that aspect - connecting business needs to specific product details - of my project highly valuable.
