I help early-stage startup teams level up their engineering and product development.

My focus at Verve has been on two separate-yet-related efforts:- transition the hardware (a soft robotic exosuit) from prototype to production- stand up data infrastructure for field deployments and the software required to manage it

I lead Product and Technology at Till Financial, where we are building a new kind of shared bank account for modern families.I'm also the lead developer of Till's backend, which includes:- an internal account ledger which tracks and reconciles transaction history- a collection of REST endpoints devoted to the React frontend- a message-based engine for task processing- webhook handlers to receive authorization, settlement, and transaction info in real time from our issuing partner- third-party integrations for KYC, AML, ACH transfers, push messaging and many others- (perhaps my favorite) an interactive slackbot to give our Customer Success team superpowersOur stack at Till is built on golang, React Native, serverless Lambdas, postgres, and SQS.

Contributed across almost every aspect of DL’s business as we grew from an idea through over $50MM in annual revenue to acquisition by the global lighting giant OSRAM.My specific areas of responsibility have included: + Fundraising and investor relations + Product strategy + Software team leadership + Intellectual propertyDevelopment projects I led:SiteWorx [golang, OAuth, WAMP, JWT, EC2, postgres, redis, embedded Linux, ansible, docker]LightRules [Ruby, Rails, postgres, resque, C++, Qt, Linux]Internal Sales Pipeline Dashboard [JavaScript, R, d3.js, Ruby, Rails, Postmark]
