I was promoted to Team Lead of the Eco System Team in just under a year at ShopKeep. The Eco System team’s mandate is to design, build, and maintain both third party integrations and in house features that extend the value of ShopKeep past the point of sale.

This role combines being highly technical while also managing a team of six developers, reporting to the director of engineering and CTO.

ShopKeep is a privately owned & rapidly growing startup headquartered in New York. Much more than just a feature packed iPad point-of-sale, ShopKeep’s Reporting, Analytics and Support take our smart merchants to the next level.

I work on our rapidly-scaling server-side infrastructure, focusing primarily on Ruby and python modules concerned with performance, security, testing, deployment stability.

As a senior member of technical staff I worked closely with our Product teams to analyse & deliver what our merchants need; with our DevOps teams to react to any security or performance concerns; & with our junior engineers to review their solutions & develop their skills.

We worked in small multi-discipline Scrum teams, pair program on all features to improve code quality & team learning, & everything we deliver is subject to rigorous review by the whole engineering department before we commit to shipping to Production which happens several times daily.
