Took over technical and product management responsibilities for completing the development of Immersion's haptic video ad serving functionality. Developed and negotiated a short-term product roadmap and drove its implementation. Wrote Javascript and Python code to fix bugs and build new features. Served as the company's ad tech expert. Learned a number of technologies, mainly in the AWS realm - in addition to S3, which was the only part of AWS that I had touched before, I'm now somewhat fluent in Lambda functions (Python), DynamoDB, Elastic Beanstalk, IAM, Route 53, API Gateway.

A platform for helping companies find the right vendor for their next IT implementation, integration, outsourcing project. I've done all product management and 90% of the coding. Tech used: Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, Elastic Search, React.

I was hired as a technical services engineer, originally in charge of building custom integrations with Adap.tv’s partners’ and customers’ APIs (mainly Flash / ActionScript and Javascript).As the industry and the company evolved, my team and I built and supported other types of integrations as well – audience data provider, server-to-server real-time bidding (RTB) integrations, as well as tools for internal business teams – Client Services, Policy, and Finance.My abilities were recognized by a series of promotions, both in terms of job title and scope of responsibilities. In addition to Tech Services, I ended up in charge of QA and Tech Support teams as well, with some responsibilities crossing over from just Adap.tv into other technologies built by companies that AOL acquired over the years. This was a wonderful opportunity in terms of being able to learn, participate, and influence the entire product development process. A significant part of my job was training and mentoring new members, not just of my team, but other teams as well, mainly through organizing and recording product training sessions.
