Executive Summary
After 5 years at Roof Maxx, I've successfully evolved from Technology Specialist to senior development work, building revenue-critical systems and serving as technical leader for our team. This documentation demonstrates both my journey and the gap between my current L2 designation and actual L3+ responsibilities.
Current Situation
- Title: Software Developer L2
- Reality: Performing Senior/L3+ work including architecture, DevOps backup, Product Owner backup
- Tenure: 5 years with consistent positive reviews
- Innovation: Self-funded AI and infrastructure learning (including this documentation site)
The Ask
- Recognition of the gap between current work and title/compensation
- Clear path to L3/Senior with timeline
- Compensation alignment with market and contributions
Why This Matters Now
- New team structure under Rafael provides opportunity for proper positioning
- v2 transition requires senior technical leadership with institutional knowledge
- 5-year milestone is natural point for role formalization
- Current expanded responsibilities already exceed L2 by significant margin
This documentation site itself demonstrates the AI-assisted development and infrastructure skills I've been developing through personal investment in continuous learning.
