In my current role as Director of Engineering at Zyston, I’ve been responsible for the transition and integration of Blue Lava customers and products into the Zyston offering post acquisition. I've directly handled the operation and management of the Blue Lava tenants, supporting customers along the journey, all the while reducing costs.As Director of Engineering at Blue Lava, I had the opportunity to help define our roadmap, strategize on hiring, introduce tools like story mapping and feature planning, work directly with customers on feature requests, manage the data platform teams, and implement automation that enabled my teammates to deliver more efficiently.Before Blue Lava, I was Director of Engineering at Nike, leading several teams of over 40 engineers responsible for the transition to real-time data and analytics. I was asked to streamline several disparate systems into a singular data platform with real-time capabilities. Under my leadership, the teams implemented everything from data capture, ingestion, data pipelines, data warehousing, and machine learning. I focused on hiring and promotion, introducing roadmaps, budgeting, vendor relationships, establishing support efforts, and working cross-functionally with many internal stakeholders.Before joining Nike, I directed the data platform efforts at Recurly with a core focus on building a high-functioning team. In the process, we introduced a DevOps culture that was soon adopted by the rest of the organization.Throughout my 27+ years of experience, I have cultivated a comprehensive skill set spanning the entire technology stack. I have gained valuable expertise in various domains from JavaScript, Ruby, and Rust, to APIs and data platforms.You’re welcome to read more about my experiences at https://mikekrisher.com.
