Instructor

Getty Images

I spearheaded full-stack development for the Getty Images contributor portal, serving an extensive user base of over 1 million. Our project began by entirely revamping the frontend. Crucially, we maintained robust test coverage through a rigorous Test-Driven Development (TDD) approach.

On the backend, we crafted a versatile infrastructure. My substantial contributions encompassed the creation of both frontend and backend features. These included building functionalities for seamless contributor onboarding, facilitating image and video uploads, and orchestrating asset submissions. The latter involved navigating intricate metadata processes within our internal workflows.

In summary, my role in this project was pivotal in elevating the Getty Images contributor portal to new heights, utilizing leading-edge technologies and intricate backend systems to enhance user experiences and streamline asset management processes.

🚀 I demystify Web2 so PMs can build kick-ass products

Over the past decade, I have built products that support 1M+ users. 

Now it's my time to give back...

After watching my non-technical co-workers struggle to make sense of how apps are built, I decided to build Tech Talk for Non-Developers.

An online course and program that teaches Product Managers how apps are built, so they can:

✅ Write up technical requirements documents✍🏼
✅ Understand what their developers are saying/doing so they can create mutual respect and better relationships
✅ Communicate effectively with stakeholders 💬
✅ Visualize the end result 👁️
✅ Draw inspiration by understanding constraints 💡
✅ Bridge the gap between business and technology that is often left wide open 💼 🖥️

My views are very simple...

Technology should be understood by everyone!

It's extremely powerful...

But very simple to understand with a structured learning experience.

Currently training 100+ Product Managers and non-technical professionals at multiple billion-dollar tech companies.

The result?

✅ Clearer technical requirement documents
✅ No more developers waiting on PMs
✅ More confidence when communicating with developers and stakeholders

Specialize in React, Angular, Node.js, and Flutter.
