Great event on design and engineering at Shopify’s Montreal office 🤩

Key takeaways:
1. “Design engineer” is not a title the Shopify team is currently hiring for. It means the team looks for designers with an engineering mindset and vibecoding skills, and engineers with taste and a strong design point of view.
2. As designers, try not to tie jobs to titles. The old mindset, “I’m a UX designer, not a graphic designer,” no longer works. The lines are blurring.
3. Shopify’s design teams already use Cursor, vibecoding, and prototyping in an internal product playground, and are expected to ship PRs to production.
4. Designers should keep an artistic point of view and lead with taste. Follow our curiosity, and learn new tools.
5. The highest leverage now is to learn from AI, don’t outsource thinking. Go down the rabbit hole of coding, fill our blind spots, and educate ourselves with AI.

Stay curious, master the craft, start shipping small. In the end, “Good tools make a skilled craftsman better. They will not make a poorly skilled craftsman great.”

- Designed and built data pipelines, models, reports and services to improve marketing metrics and cultivate customer relationships using data-driven approaches.

- Developed an attribution model combining GA4 web traffic data with offline conversions to produce a more accurate measure of Return-On-Ad Spend (ROAS) from ad placements.

- Helped increase confidence in channel profitability, leading to budget adjustments that then increased ROAS.

- Established a data pipeline from a remote legacy ERP system to an Azure SQL Database, and others from various APIs, centralizing and transforming key data for determing KPIs, ML features, and a data mart connected to PowerBI dashboards and a Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB) model for reward optimization applications.

Director of Data Engineering

Tom Juntunen

As a Data Architect, I design, build, and optimize enterprise data systems to create reliable and trustworthy data. My focus is on helping organizations solve complex problems and improve business outcomes. After evaluating existing data infrastructure and applications, I develop and implement technical roadmaps that align with strategic business needs. 

Ediphi: I collaborated with the software development team to fix inaccuracies in Mixpanel reporting by identifying source code bugs and implementing durable solutions. I also built a cloud-based Excel add-in using React and TypeScript to enable financial reporting and syncing of construction estimate data, replacing outdated, macro-based solutions.

Prager University: I reduced donation data syncing lag from 5-7 days to just 1 hour using Airflow, enabling near real-time reporting across daily, weekly, and monthly dashboards in PowerBI. I also implemented personalized content delivery for millions of daily email subscribers in Iterable, and delivered security upgrades to the Snowflake data warehouse by restricting access and enforcing 2-Factor Authentication. Reduced costs through query monitoring and optimization techniques, and removing unused objects. 

Rare Collectibles TV: I developed an attribution model that combined web traffic data with offline conversions to produce a more accurate measure of Return-On-Investment (ROI) resulting from ad placement across online and offline channels. I helped the business gain confidence in which channels were actually making or losing money, which led to budget adjustments that increased ROI across all channels in the following two months due to smarter ad placements. The major pain point I solved was a data pipeline from an on-premise, legacy ERP system hosted remotely by a third-party which contained the offline conversions data needed to true-up the online conversions data in a downstream dbt pipeline.

Data Architect

Led product and engineering at Datalogz to revolutionize the administration and production of business intelligence. 

In Jan 2023, I launched a complete redesign of the Datalogz product mission, vision, strategy, and value propositions, including redesign and implementation of all architecture, systems and code repositories while managing a team of seven engineers. 

Two months later, in Mar 2023, Datalogz raised $2.3M in seed funding led by Squadra Ventures after successful pilots with Fortune 500 companies.

Nine months later, in Dec 2023, Datalogz raised another $5M in funding led by GreatPoint Ventures, "unveiling our groundbreaking solution to end Business Intelligence (BI) sprawl across Fortune 500 enterprises."

In less than one year, my efforts helped the company's valuation increase by 25x to $22M+, $100k ACV, in addition to creating a new market category: BI Ops. 

Our cloud-based BI Ops platform, recommendations engine, and automation tools empower teams to streamline their operations — saving countless hours of tedious work and eliminating wasteful spend.
