🧑‍💼 Past experience

If you would like to learn more about my career, I invite you to check out my LinkedIn profile. For a brief summary of the most recent past, I spent my working hours:

Engineering shipping and payments at WooCommerce

I spent the past 4.5 years at WooCommerce (Automattic) working on the company's flagship shipping and payments offerings: WooCommerce Shipping and WooPayments, as well as Woo's entire shipping product suite.

Having gained tons of experience working on shipping in ecommerce, I became one of two founding members of a re-established shipping team, working closely with leadership to establish a new product strategy, leading cross-functional initiatives, and managing key partner communications.

Freelancing

I worked closely with clients on projects big and small, spanning from WordPress and WooCommerce tweaks to completely custom web apps.

🧑‍🔬 Areas of expertise

Throughout my entire career I especially gained experience in software architecture and testing, planning and leading projects, designing REST APIs, ensuring web app security, and briefly dipped my toes in team leadership.

🤩 My favorite things

I love open source, working on groundbreaking projects, and making work fun.
