Sproutward is a boutique agency focused on digital transformation, media, and analytics. Polaric is an ecommerce analytics solution built by Sproutward.I have played a foundational role in creating Polaric as an offering blending digital marketing, site analytics, and OMS into actionable insights for digital marketing investment.As Sproutward's first engineer hire, I am an individual contributor and have created solutions for Polaric single-handedly. I currently lead a team of 6 engineers.Polaric is built using the modern data stack methodology - load data directly to data warehouse, transform the data in the warehouse, and visualize. The Polaric stack is built on BigQuery using dbt for transformation and Looker for visualization.Polaric started with Google Sheets, dbt, BigQuery, and Looker using vendors Supermetrics and Stitch. We transformed this into a secure multitenant SAAS offering adding Funnel and Fivetran.To supplement feeds our vendors do not support, I built a JSON-based data pipeline that loads data through email, SFTP, and APIs using Cloud Functions/Run, GCS, Cloud PubSub, Cloud Scheduler, Cloud Tasks, Cloud Functions, and Bigquery.Currently I am working these 4 things:1) Polaric customer portal - the portal is built using react, nextJs, TailwindCSS and firebase. The portal will be the front-end for our self-service offering enabling customers to sign up and administer their own account. This is a solo effort.2) CICD workflow automation - our primary development activity for Polaric is dbt modeling and visualization. We built a workflow broker to orchestrate our build and audit services to support our CICD workflows and future automations.3) Bootstrap agile culture and release engineering - we run a product backlog and a kanban board to support Polaric and all client work.4) Remodel Polaric - enhance modeling to support rapid deployment of feeds, custom client development, and a new data warehouse design.

The early years at Sproutward involved innovative work outside Polaric. These are some solutions I built:* Washing machine triggered marketing using segment.io, Microsoft azure and Salesforce Marketing Cloud to drive email campaigns. Traffic from washing machines flows through segment.io to a service(function) on Azure that transforms the stream to capture in SFMC to trigger email campaigns from new user signup to driving customer customer retention and powering "invite a friend".* used Zapier to capture Meta(facebook) events to create new users in Cheetah Digital.
