Full Time Software Engineer at Lark
I worked at Lark Health from October, 2018 to February, 2021. During my first year, I was one of only two mobile developers. Since I joined, the company has tripled in headcount. In 2020, we raised an additional $70 million in Series C funding.
The Company Lark is the world's largest A.I. healthcare provider, we service patients suffering from or at risk of chronic disease with A.I. Nurses. In early 2020, our user base dramatically increased with the announcement of partnerships with Highmark, United, and Anthem. As of my departure, Lark served millions of patients.
My Role
I worked primarily on the mobile team but also spend time on user research and backend projects. My focus was on
1. Modernizing the eng stack to meet the demands of exponential user growth and
2. Developing features that improve the user experience.
My Work
• I am experienced in TypeScript, React Native, Node.js. I also work in Java, Android, iOS, devops & AWS infrastructure, and Python.
• I implemented Bluetooth and cellular device integrations
• I created a node microservice for server side UI rendering (using functional programming best practices —e.g. fp-ts).
. I separated our front-end business logic from the UI code for modularity and better testability.
• I was responsible for migrating our native codebases to React Native.
. I actively promoted functional programming best practices internally (via a study group + code reviews)
In addition to engineering and user research,
• I represented our company during a 2 quarter mentorship program at Stanford
• I was actively involved in hiring decisions and gave 100+ engineering interviews, across many levels of positions and domains.
