Dakota Schramm | Software Engineer

What i do.

In my 4 years of working professionally as a Software Engineer, my curiosity has led me to wear many hats 🎩 working on

🧑‍🎨 frontend (animation, design systems, component-based architecture)
👨‍🔧 backend (databases, APIs, caching)
👨‍🚒 devops (CI/CD, infrastructure as code, monitoring)
👨‍🔬 testing (unit, integration, e2e, performance)

I am deeply passionate about topics such as: developer experience, test driven development, and AI integration

Here are some of the specific technologies I've worked with:

Javascript (ES6+)
Typescript
TailwindCSS

React
Ruby on Rails
Docker

Where i studied.

I studied Mathematics at Columbia University, where I built a strong foundation in analytical thinking and problem-solving. While there, I also took coursework in Java and C, which sparked my passion for software development.

From there, I dove headfirst into web development, completing projects and certifications through freeCodeCamp in front-end development and React. The combination of a formal math background and hands-on, self-directed learning has shaped how I approach problems — methodically, independently, and with a drive to keep growing.

Places i’ve worked.

Currently I am working with 410Labs.

Software Engineer#410 Labs

Mar 2022 - Mar 2026

Built a complete Next.js/React/TypeScript prototype using component based architecture (modals, animations via Framer Motion, gamification, mobile layouts), and delivered production UI features including landing pages with A/B testing, a testimonial carousel, redesigned auth flows, and accessibility tooling (axe-core, jsx-a11y).
Built Stripe billing infrastructure -- checkout flows, webhook handling, subscription lifecycle management, and payment portals -- plus passwordless auth, admin dashboards, Kubernetes configs, error handling hardening, thread-safe Vault access, and background job pipelines.
Drove multi-year build tooling migrations (Sprockets to Vite, sassc-rails to dartsass-rails, Enzyme to react-testing-library, Backbone globals to CJS modules, Axios to native fetch), stood up ViewComponent/Lookbook with MirageJS mock servers across projects, and established CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, Dependabot grouping, linter annotations, and Docker/devcontainer configs.
Built an AI-powered email-to-calendar extraction engine using Claude and Gemini APIs with batched prompting, rate limiting, token-cost optimization, and a CSV-based prompt strategy -- backed by a prompt consistency testing framework, SolidQueue background jobs with per-user concurrency limits and priority scheduling, and per-user LLM cost tracking.

Some of my works.

Check out some of my personal projects

#01 Yahtzee!

A fully playable Yahtzee dice game that replaces tangled useState chains with XState finite state machines to manage complex, interdependent dice game state through explicit, predictable state transitions — modeling the full game lifecycle (welcome → rolling → deciding → scoring → game over) with a complete ruleset including bonus tracking and joker rules.

#02 Study Guide IO

A browser-based study tool that transforms PDFs and images into organized study materials entirely client-side — enabling students to merge documents, generate Cornell Notes, and manage course materials with a privacy-first, offline-capable architecture that eliminates the need to upload sensitive academic content to external servers.

#03 Street Fighter DB

A command line project with data from the characters in Street Fighter 6. Made using PG, Ruby and SQL.
