Summary
Charley Baker is a Lead Developer and founder with 18 years of experience helping organizations improve product delivery through quality, continuous improvement, and Agile adoption. He has built teams and offices from the ground up—most notably starting Groupon’s Denver office—and has led quality and delivery transformations at enterprises like Gap Inc. and Facebook. Skilled across the stack and tooling (J2EE, Rails, Selenium/Watir, CI/CD, Jenkins, ETL), he combines hands-on engineering with metrics-driven code health initiatives and automated testing frameworks. Charley’s practical knack for onboarding, creating developer VM standards, and repo-mining dashboards has repeatedly reduced defects and sped delivery. He’s equally comfortable mentoring teams, managing outsourced partners, and architecting systems to enable realistic pre-production testing.
