FRONT-END SOFTWARE ENGINEER | PRODUCT MANAGERDrew has played pivotal roles in two startups (including as a cofounder) and streamlined the client acquisition and business processes of the enterprise software development agencies for which he's worked. He’s directed every step of the development process from inception through launch to growth, iteration, and maturity. Finding a desire to communicate technical product requirements more effectively or at times, perform the technical work required to enact desired changes, Drew set out to get a second degree in Computer Science, pivoted from product management to product development, and more specifically software engineering. Having experience as both a product manager and engineer, he has a keen grasp on ferreting-out business and consumer requirements and transforming them into high-yielding, deliverable products -- often by applying proven processes from a disruptive perspective.Drew has demonstrated the ability to craft complex functional & technical specifications, develop scalable APIs, perform project selection analysis, write and schedule large software test suites, and manage teams and vendors to meet launch deadlines.10+ years of strategic planning, project and product management, and system engineering experience.Specialties: Complex front-end application developmentComfortable throughout the software stackProduct Roadmap Ideation, Development, and ImplementationWaterfall & Agile Project Management (enterprise scale) Enterprise Application Architecture Design (UML’s rusty but solid)Data ETL & Modeling (including API integration, data TTL updating, matching reconciliation, leveraging graph db & other NoSQL non-RDBMS storage)IA for SEO & SEM OptimizationProficiencies:TypeScript on React framework w/ MobX (day-to-day @ current)PythonC/C++/Objective-CRESTWire-framing (Figma, OmniGraffle, Visio, Sketch)MySQL & Neo4jAWS (Lambda, API Gateway, S3, DynamoDB)What programming languages he doesn't know, he can pick-up (learn the syntax) quickly
