Courseau is an innovative instructional design platform that allows you to take your existing information sources, give it a learning outcome and turn it into a course. Our team is small and experienced, so I focus on prioritizing impactful work that improves our value proposition for our customers. Highlights: - Designed and architected full stack changes required to enable organization level course ownership and accounts, enabling enterprise billing features. - Wrote and deployed Postgres database migrations, creating policies and database functions to preserve proper roles and responsibilities. - Front end feature development of Remix app to handle all combinations and permutations of organization versus individual level course ownership.

I co-founded a property development marketplace for New Zealand - created a product roadmap, architected the application and backend, then built and deployed the web application. Highlights: - Researched and implemented best tools for the product, deciding to build the application with Sveltekit and backend with Supabase due to developer experience, browser performance and data analysis requirements. - Collaborated with non-technical co-founder to set realistic but achievable product timelines. - Made strategic decisions balancing time to market with technical debt and scaling concerns. - Fostered team growth, beginning with training a product designer with Tailwind and a development environment and training marketing lead to use a headless CMS.

On the search and discovery team, I worked on user profiles, certifications, and a new recommendations service. The architecture was fully serverless in AWS; this centered around DynamoDB and Lambdas. As one of the senior engineers on the team I designed a profile integration pipeline, paired with junior engineers and took the lead in building features. In addition I developed a collaborative engineering culture to boost morale for our recently acquired company. Highlights: - Architected profile backfill solution using DynamoDB Streams and Lambdas to integrate A Cloud Guru and Pluralsight profiles. -Spearheaded segment tracking for experimenting with recommendation placements. - Established an engineering book club to foster continuous learning and collaboration. - Hosted Q&A sessions with developer relations to promote engineering culture.
