Since its founding in 2006, RealSelf has created the world's largest community for learning and sharing information about cosmetic surgery, dermatology, dentistry, and other elective treatments. Our extensive collections of reviews, photos, and doctor Q&A make RealSelf the most trusted resource for those who are looking for help beyond the beauty counter.Joining mid-2011, I worked directly with the CEO to expand the company's technical talent to meet growing business needs. I quickly rallied the team to mature the software development lifecycle by implementing continuous integration, proper unit tests and code coverage rules, more reliable deployment tooling, and an agile development process. I've managed and led engineering teams that are driven and achieved business results, such as: ・Implementing a mobile experience via adaptive/responsive design principles・Migrating to a cloud-native infrastructure to enable flexibility and stability・Building a culture optimized for developer efficiency, rapid experimentation, and mean-time-to-recovery.・Establishing security, privacy, and web performance standards including monitoring ・Building data driven teams that understand the business and build strong partnerships with sales and marketingSince starting at RealSelf, I've built and continue to grow a talented team of developers across multiple projects and initiatives.
