Sebastian Benad

As a Full Stack Engineer at VSBL & Ecolab, I deliver end-to-end feature development using Flutter/Dart (experienced since its inception) for frontend and AWS SAM with Python for backend services. Working closely with lead engineers, I contribute to building scalable, complex software while adhering to industry best practices.

• Implement complete features from frontend to backend, maintaining expertise in Flutter/Dart from version 2 through latest releases
• Develop robust cloud services using AWS SAM and Python architecture
• Successfully led state management refactoring initiatives across application features
• Provide technical guidance to team members, promoting collaborative problem-solving
• Focus on scalable, maintainable code through continuous adoption of best practices

As a full-stack developer at Baseline Telematics, I focus on Flutter development, working with telemetry data through integrations like OpenStreetMaps and Google Maps via Flutter libraries. I follow the Flutter Stacked MV-VM architecture to ensure scalability, turning logic into reusable microservices with persistent data management to optimize performance. Our backend combines Cloud Firestore and Firebase RTDB to manage complex structured data and real-time events. I actively use the Bitrise CI/CD pipeline for automation and contribute to improving project management processes with AHA in a fast-paced, lean team environment.

Effectively led the front-end development for 'Ultimate Fan,' a dynamic browser-based game, within a three-month contract. Utilizing React and Material UI, I crafted an immersive user interface that seamlessly integrated with Firebase for real-time event updates.

Notably, I spearheaded the end-to-end development and management of a groundbreaking product named "Print Menus" during my tenure. This product sanitizes & converts client POS data into printable PDF menus, available on demand and automated schedules. Our agile approach overcame challenges in enabling customizable features & avoiding runtime errors.

My role evolved beyond support development; however, I consistently met targets and resolved 1000+ tier 2 and 3 tickets.

In 2023, I supported the "BudGuide" Flutter app after a colleague's departure. Swiftly adapting, I managed a rolling release cycle, ensuring app publication on major stores.

As Project Manager and Product Owner for Inspectagram, a cross-platform inspection reporting application, I orchestrated seamless communication between development teams and stakeholders while translating complex customer requirements into actionable user stories. I meticulously crafted specifications, prioritized feature development, and managed product backlogs to ensure alignment with business objectives. This pivotal role cultivated my passion for software development, ultimately propelling my successful transition into a self-taught software engineering career where I leverage both technical expertise and product management insights.
