Resume

The long version.

I've spent 13+ years at Springfree Trampoline and goba Sports Group, starting as a frontend developer and now working as Director of Business Applications. I own enterprise architecture across Shopify Plus, NetSuite, and Celigo, with a seven-figure budget and distributed teams serving North America, Europe, and ANZ. Coming up as a developer means I stay close to the implementation while setting the strategy. The platforms I own have transacted more than US$150M in GMV across four markets.
