COO/CTO @ AppMonsta
I managed the company until its successful acquisition at the beginning of 2020.
We sold our API solutions to Fortune 100 companies, VCs, and startups from different industries. I directly managed business development, including sales, negotiations, and customer relationships.
I acted as the head of engineering, overseeing engineers and their work. We were a globally distributed (fully remote) team. Our emphasis was on high code quality, code reviews, high test coverage (2,000+ unit and integration tests), automation, and shared ownership of code. I conducted 100+ technical interviews and mentored engineers we hired. This ranged from software development best practices to interview coaching.
We were developing and managing highly distributed systems: crawling clusters (up to 1,500 nodes), data processing pipelines, DB clusters, and API clusters.
