Gadget

Employee number 10 at Gadget, the software development platform that makes building Shopify apps and functionality really fast. Explored how many tools my Swiss army knife has by doing something new almost every day, trying to make the Gadget team and our users go faster.

Data, marketing, content, research, support, operations, inbound and outbound sales, and anything else needed to help the company move forward -- I did it all. Left to take a break, and yet to figure out what to do next.
