As the Chief Technology Officer at Ethos, I led the development and growth of a socially responsible alternative to mainstream social media platforms. With my experience in delivering high-quality mobile app products, we were able to build a new platform to empower Gen Z users to discuss and act on social and environmental issues.A social media app has many complex components, and the bar is set high by the competition and the user expectation. As CTO I was constantly streamlining the team processes to efficiently deliver quality features, try new things while maintain the required technical quality to keep the platform and app running reliably at all times. We successfully built many advanced features in a small amount of time including, Content recommendations, Automated and manual moderation features, Fact checking features and more. We integrated 3rd party services for many advanced features to release quickly and ensure quality of service. As CTO I was responsible for discovering and choosing these services based on our product and technology requirements.Growing the team was a priority in my role as CTO, we scaled up to a team of 7 during my time and beyond hiring, I was mentoring individuals to ensure they could be independent in their role, working towards making the team fully self sufficient to build and ship new features.
