About

Engineering/product leader in early-stage environments who has repeatedly driven major pivots and scaling efforts: pandemic-era refactor at NameCoach and multi-community expansion at Nolodex (now ~20 communities). Comfortable going from executive roadmap/stakeholder alignment to hands-on implementation (e.g., webhooks), and has led architecture shifts (monolith-to-distributed, Heroku-to-AWS) while managing outsourced/offshore teams through organizational friction.

Key Strengths

• Led pandemic-driven product refactor at NameCoach to pivot from live events to virtual event support
• Defined and executed MVP to expand Nolodex from a single community to ~20 communities despite budget/org conflict
• Scaled and restructured an engineering org to ~50 people into dedicated product-aligned teams (incl. testing)
• Improved platform scalability by decomposing monolith components into distributed services (from struggling at hundreds/day to handling thousands with headroom)
• Cloud/platform migration leadership (Heroku to AWS) to improve control over security and infrastructure
• Hands-on technical execution alongside leadership duties (implemented webhooks feature personally)
• Strong interpersonal/organizational buffering across internal founders and outsourced teams to maintain productivity
• Remote-team effectiveness via hiring for self-starters and aligning individual growth with company needs
