Assembled Brands is a Financial Technology company providing credit, analytics, and a partnership network to direct-to-consumer brands.
At AB I worked with Adam Pritzker (formerly of General Assembly, sold 2018). I led the Product and Engineering teams in migrating their data from a spreadsheet-based system into a proper database enabling cross-portfolio monitoring and analytics. I led the technical side of a build vs buy evaluation of a portfolio management system. I streamlined their loan application process by implementing OAuth connectors to automatically pull reports from Shopify, Quickbooks, and several other sources, reducing sales funnel time. I implemented a layered code architecture to fix the broken architecture left by previous developers which resulted in increased development speed. I developed a hiring plan to build out the Product and Engineering teams.
Referred to by Adam Pritzker as "wicked smart".
