Hi there👋🏻, my name isIda Valenzuela
Hi there! I'm Ida. I'm a Software Engineer/QA Engineer
based in Los Angeles, CA.
Currently, I'm a Software
Engineer at Hack for LA on the website team where I write JavaScript to
the maintain the Hack for LA website. I recently interned as a Software Engineer at Kargo where I worked on the ad
exchange auction platforms. I deployed tickets to improve the QA
process for querying Kargo's data warehouse for events fired during the ad auctioning process. This
enhancement sped up QA testing and significantly improved the efficiency of the testing workflow for the
team. I also tackled a high-priority bug ticket that ensured the smooth operation of the video ad
inventory bidding process, which helped maintain seamless interactions between 100+ advertisers and
publishers.
With expertise in cutting-edge technologies like React, Redux,
Express,
Node, Golang, and PostgreSQL, I specialize in crafting performant, user-friendly interfaces, and
intuitive front
ends and backends that can handle complex tasks,
process data efficiently, and seamlessly support the frontend of an application.
Beyond coding, you'll find me savoring beach outings and exploring trendy bakeries. Let's connect and leverage technology to make a lasting impact!
