Director of Engineering - Zonos
01.2015 - 01.2019
- Zonos was bootstrapped and I had to find ways to continue to grow and develop our products with minimal resources and a very lean team.
- Zonos didn’t have a CTO during this time, so all architecture, software tools and general technical decisions were my responsibility.
- I made the hard decisions concerning prioritizing value over need.
- These lean years at Zonos were when we created the systems and products that would take us past the 10 million ARR mark in 2020.
