Employee Spotlight: Patrick Simpelo, Software Engineer

Welcome to the Boost Employee Spotlight! Each month, we feature a different member of the Boost team and their story. This month, meet Patrick Simpelo, Software Engineer.

What is your role at Boost and what does your role do? What does your typical week look like?

As a backend engineer, I work with my team to implement new features within our platform and revamp existing features. Insurance can be complex, so engineering new and existing products can be challenging, but we engineers make a collaborative effort. We even work with the actuary team to make sure numbers line up correctly. Mathemagical!

The tasks that make up my week are (in no particular order or frequency): Programming. Code reviewing. Tending to partner questions. Chatting with teammates. Running interviews. Attending meetings/hangouts. Sending gifs. Receiving gifs. Reacting with emojis.
