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 20-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 JavaScript (Node.js; related internet and browser technologies); cloud infrastructure; managing software development processes; mentoring and growing highly productive teams.
