Work

Experienced engineering manager and programmer

As VP, Engineering at 1stDibs, I've helped grow the engineering team from 5 to over 100 and transformed a legacy monolith into a state-of-the-art web front-end while supporting a 500% growth of the business.

I've worked as an engineering manager, senior developer, and visual/UX designer during my over 25-year career on the web. The majority of my professional life has been spent conceiving, developing, and building online experiences and internet applications for e-commerce, ad-tech, and media.

Expert in modern web technologies (React, TypeScript, Node.js); cloud-native architectures (AWS, containerization, serverless); AI/ML integration and prompt engineering; DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines; managing distributed teams and agile development processes.
