Experience
Throughout my career I've worked with dozens of clients on ecommerce sites, marketing sites, and dashboard-based applications. I've learned dozens of software programming technologies, now primarily using React, TypeScript, Next.js, and Go. I've worked as a solo developer on full-stack projects as well as with other engineers on a team on large-scale projects. I have always prioritized communication with stakeholders to navigate business challenges and ensure clients get value from their investment.- Head of Product Management: Reibus InternationalAs the organization's first Product Leader, I helped grow company's valuation from 68M to 750M within two years by leading the product development. I led customer research campaigns, conducted customer interviews, and implemented user-tracking tools within the application to deliver insights to stakeholders. To improve the product, I also designed internal and external educational materials and learning tools to assist sales of Reibusʼ complex inventory of metals and development of their ecommerce marketplace.
- Tech Lead: Reibus InternationalI grew the engineering team from 2 to 30 engineers while building, testing, and overseeing the vast majority of software developed at Reibus. During that time, I created processes for code review and automated testing, and implemented agile methodologies managing the engineering team. Additionally, I established an internal tool which mapped thousands of international standards to assist our sales team.
