Engineering Manager & Sr. Full Stack Engineer / 2022 – Present
As an engineering manager, I grew from a small mobile team, to a greenfield portfolio product, to data delivery, up to 12 engineers across two teams. That meant coaching, setting engineering strategy, and holding the bar on engineering practices, while staying hands on across frontend, backend, and BI (anywhere from 20% to 80% of my time, depending on the needs of the team). I worked on introducing an empowered engineering culture on a new full-stack team, with trunk-based development and small, continuously shipped changes. Later, we spread the model more broadly, and I kept optimizing teams to ship faster and more reliably.
My teams at Glassnode owned the Studio, data visualization, information architecture, billing, public APIs, permissions, payments, and content pages. A server-side-rendering migration more than halved the homepage load time and enabled new products (e.g. Market Compass) to be released in a single day. A homepage rebuild got ~6x more visitors into the product (from 5% to 31% of arrivals). An in-house AI agent platform lets non-technical people safely ship to production with zero side effects (limited access & robust harness). Other work included global search, payments migrations, performance and UX improvements, internal AI tooling, external AI chat, and direct customer engineering support.
Currently, I'm designing Studio's information-architecture overhaul end-to-end, from concept and user-feedback sessions through to the final solution.
