    Founder
    Cto Summit Series Feb 2014 - Oct 2023
    The Startup Summit CTO Series was created to allow CTO’s and engineering leaders to learn from and connect with their peers. It’s not hard to find a gathering of technologists debating front end frameworks, containerization or the relative benefits of Scala, Clojure and Go. Finding a group of geeks talking about the hard parts of building a successful engineering team like hiring, developing an engineering culture and managing (your team and your boss) is more challenging.Each summit is a full day, single track event for learning from and connecting with your peers that are running fast growth engineering teams. In the fall of 2014 we ran events in San Francisco, Washington DC, New York, Boston, Sydney and San Francisco. In 2015 we're running six regional summits across the world - http://www.roninlabs.io/cto/summits/2015

    March 2016-March 2018 Head of Online InstructionAs the first remote hire at Flatiron school, I built out the instructional team for the recently launched Flatiron School Online Website Development (career) program. We started with a couple of full timers and a team of technical coaches and grew it to a remote first organization of over 50 people with managers running the various teams. I also led the development of "the Instructor App" (initially coding it in my spare time, and then pairing with a recent hire on test driving new features) - a rails app for tracking, reporting on and engaging with student progress so instructors could more efficiently target the students that needed the most help.March 2018-September 2018 Enterprise and CurriculumAfter getting the online instructional team to a good place, I took over the management of a team of nine curriculum authors across web development and data science, putting in place processes for prioritizing, specifying and managing projects, agreeing a clear definition of done for curriculum, and creating a daily and weekly cadence of checkins for the teams while again moving to a remote first culture.At the same time, I provided pre-sales support for our enterprise initiative, engaging with stakeholders on both technical and pedagogical questions and creating proposed curriculums for a range of enterprise Data Science programs.September 2018-December 2018 Head Online Data Science InstructorI helped to launch our first online (career) Data Science program, providing instruction directly and then onboarding and supporting our initial data science instructors.January 2019 Head of Data ScienceI then moved to start creating "thought leadership" content for both Data Science and Software Engineering, helping to position Flatiron School as the best bootcamp for both disciplines
