Alissa Hsueh

Software Engineer (Freelance)

• Leveraged Claude Code as a force multiplier to lead migration of a legacy WordPress/GCP platform to a modern architecture — accelerating architectural decisions and full-stack implementation across 700 posts, 300+ interactive quizzes, and 2,000+ media assets.
• Evaluated and integrated modern tooling (Vercel, Supabase, Cloudflare, TinaCMS) to build a maintainable content platform, enabling non-engineering stakeholders to edit content directly and eliminating the previous developer bottleneck.

Software Engineer, Third Party Risk Management

• Core engineer on the founding team of a greenfield, cloud-native platform consolidating fragmented third-party vendor risk data into a centralized registry supporting 10,000+ vendors and firm-wide regulatory compliance — among the first teams at the firm to build natively on AWS.
• Architected a distributed microservices backend on AWS (ECS, Lambda, DynamoDB, Aurora PostgreSQL) with RESTful API contracts that let downstream teams integrate without direct database access, eliminating prior timeout errors; established JUnit/Mockito testing achieving 90% code coverage across the service layer.
• Designed and owned the platform's production alerting and observability pipeline (CloudWatch, PagerDuty) with a structured on-call rotation, enabling detection of data-refresh failures before they impacted downstream regulatory reports.

Software Engineer, Spend & Data Automation

• Replaced a fully manual charitable contribution approval process with an automated workflow, integrating third-party payment provider Candex to eliminate manual handoffs and payment delays while preserving a full audit trail.
• Engineered data integration pipelines between SAP and internal expense management platforms using Java and Spring Boot, supporting oversight of ~$16B in annual non-compensation spend.

Software Engineering Intern, Facebook University

• Engineered autoplay video story tiles for the Facebook Android app end-to-end — from design through cross-functional review to production launch — across two consecutive internship cycles.
• Collaborated with engineers, PMs, and designers through Facebook's full internal review and quality process to ship a production-ready feature at scale.

Full Stack Developer Intern

• Migrated 100+ pages of high-traffic PHP quiz infrastructure (ovulation calculators, wellness tools) from on-premise to GCP with zero downtime.
• Independently architected the migration and executed a full UI/UX redesign for a women's lifestyle platform with 35,000+ users.
