I’m a firm believer that a company is only as good as its people. As a software engineer who’s grown to become a VP of Technology/Chief Architect myself, I know that a happy engineer is a challenged engineer who has opportunities to learn new tech and own high-priority code. I see the long-term success of my team as an integral part of the success of my organization. One recent example: Launching Machine Learning at Legal Zoom. It streamlined efficiency for our customers, saved money, and gave employees a new opportunity for growth. Another: I mentored our engineering team through the transformation from a waterfall process to an agile process, enabling us to hit deadlines more accurately to improve customer experience while simultaneously empowering engineers with code ownership. Spanning from software development to architecture in B2B and B2C SaaS industries, I have navigated multi-million dollar projects through their life cycle (design, development, operation, and improvement) to stand as a strategic partner for my company’s mission for differentiation, growth and customer satisfaction. A few other ways I’ve envisioned and implemented technology strategy: ● Built a mobile team from scratch that enabled millions of API transactions daily.● Revamped customer experience to capture new revenue.● Overhauled tech stacks to enable rapid testing and reduce time-to-launch. ● Secured funding for enterprise emerging technology and architecture teams.Technology Leadership Expertise● Digital transformation● Technology roadmap● Technology strategy● Architecture● Machine learning● Software engineering● Customer experience● Mobile, web and application development● DevOps● Open source software● A/B optimization● Agile project management● Career mapping● Talent development● Mentorship ● Stakeholder alignmentContact: cswelker@gmail.com
