Bandcamp is a leading
independent music marketplace, and a subsidiary of Songtradr,
Inc.
- I was about the 20th employee at Bandcamp, and about the 10th
engineering hire. I helped scale the engineering team up to about 50
engineers before Bandcamp was acquired by Epic Games in 2022.
- As director, I manage and mentor ten engineers who comprise three
engineering teams. In the last year, we shipped major product releases
including Bandcamp Clubs, shared playlists, digital payments in
listening parties, shipping and postage integration, and a Shopify
integration.
- As a manager, I personally led projects to comply with a variety of
compliance and legal issues, including compliance with the EU Digital
Services Act, the US INFORM Act, and shifting US marketplace tax rules.
Combined, these have mitigated over $100MM in potential
regulatory and tax liabilities on accelerated timelines. I also
led my team through 2 acquisitions, maintaining morale and ensuring the
continuity of the business.
- As an engineer, I built multiple payment systems, and I was one of
two engineers on the team that added credit card support to Bandcamp
(deployed with no downtime). More than a billion dollars of
artist payouts have been processed by code I wrote since
2016.
