Work Experience

DigitalOcean

Sr. Manager, Development

I managed engineering teams responsible for our client experiences, including our Cloud and Marketplace UI, as well as our public API and CLI.

Breather

Director, Web Engineering / Front-End Development Lead
|

Nov 2015 - Sep 2017

I scaled the web team as it became our most popular customer platform. Over the course of this, I oversaw the transition of our codebase(s) to a modern component based architecture to allow better sync with the design team. I managed the QA team and worked to formalize our agile process and decrease cycle time. I created the first formal internship program and supervised the first cohort.

Jul 2015 - Nov 2015

My primary focus was improving release automation, monitoring, alerting, and modernizing infrastructure.

Indigo

Manager, UI Development
|

Oct 2013 - Jul 2015

I built out a formal UI team and developed frontend coding standards. I lead the charge to roll out New Relic to effectively measure and monitor application performance. I helped to improve development process by transitioning from legacy source control to git and increased adoption of other complementary tools.

SnapSaves

Director of Software Development

Mar 2013 - Sep 2013

I oversaw development of the MVP for mobile apps (Android, iOS), Desktop site, API, and admin (fullstack PHP). This included managing both full-time and contract resouces on premises and remotely. I worked directly with the CTO to manage timelines and resourcing. They were later (June 2014) acquired by Groupon.

Achievers

Software Developer
|

Nov 2011 - Feb 2013

I was hired as a frontend developer but ended up being fullstack out of necessity. I eventually became the HRIS expert and was part of our largest implementations. I was an original member of the team responsible for Achievers Tech talks, which has become one of the larger tech meetups in Toronto. Achievers taught me the importance of employee recognition and company culture.
