Nanasi cover

I was CTO of an early-stage social commerce platform that mixed a social network with a shop. I worked closely with the CEO on technology strategy, designed the whole stack, built and maintained more than 80 API endpoints, and led four engineers spread across three continents.

I also secured a cloud partnership with Microsoft and represented the company in meetings with their team. Day to day, a lot of the job was translation: turning what executives wanted into sprints engineers could ship, and turning what engineers were doing into something stakeholders could act on.
