Experience

Director of Engineering for B2C Features @ Bandcamp Remote | 2024 – current
Sr. Engineering Manager @ Bandcamp Remote | 2018 – 2024
Sr. Software Engineer @ Bandcamp Remote | 2015 – 2018

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 define and drive the vision for Bandcamp’s engineering organization. I lead and mentor ten strong engineers who comprise four engineering teams. In the last year, we shipped major product releases including Bandcamp Clubs, sharable playlists, digital gift payments in listening parties, a Shopify integration and a postage and shipping label 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.
