But my friends and family call me Beeg (sounds like Beej). I am an engineering manager residing in San Diego, CA. When I'm not working, you can find me skateboarding, surfing, running, or just being outside with my family and dogs exploring the beautiful surroundings of San Diego.
I've been working in the Web Development/Software Engineering space for about a decade and absolutley love it. I've worked in many roles including design, indivdiual contributor (back end and front end), and technical lead. I'm currently an engineering manager with a wide range of experience developing not only product but engineers as well.
As an engineering manager, I managed the Inbox team. This inbox served as the defacto landing page for all Podium users and the central hub for which all other products worked out of. I managed a team of 9+ engineers and helped them establish goals, provided technical feedback, and ensured that Podium was a safe place they wanted to grow their careers.
As a tech lead, I worked as a player/coach within the Onboarding product. The Onboarding product helped customers get up to speed and set up quickly and helped users navigate their initial interactions within the app. I led a team of 4 engineers in technical roadmapping, sizing, and provided regular technical feedback to help them level up.
As a software engineer, I worked on multiple teams and a variety of products. Using technologies such as React, GrapQl, and Elixir, I was a key contributor in adding new channels for customers to interact on, creating a "customer has" store to determine what features a user has interacted with, and several onboarding flows to help users get the most out of Podium quickly.
As a Lead Instructor, responsibilities included teaching students, curating curriculum and managing 10-20 mentors and instructors. Developed several new course offerings including online, after hours, and Basecamp, all of which led to more students than ever having the opportunity to learn to code.
First full time front end developer and designer for Fashionphile, a high-end hand bag consignment store. Set standards for coding patterns and technology. Implemented an email campaign that led to highest non-holiday revenue quarter for company up to that point.
Worked on a team of 10+ engineers to refactor the order flow. Built an intuitive solution that worked equally well on mobile and web. Worked direclty with stakeholders and executives to set deadlines, set milestones, and ensrue the project progressed. Also worked with third party clients to create a tailored contact ordering solution.
