Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolConnor Ross is a Director of Software Engineering with 11 years of experience leading cross-functional teams to deliver customer-facing web applications, data pipelines, and IoT solutions at scale, currently based in New York. He blends hands-on full‑stack development—contributing to notable open-source projects like Electrode—with proven delivery improvements such as shifting teams from weekly to daily deployments and raising UI test coverage dramatically. At Walmart’s Intelligent Retail Lab and Jet.com he combined technical leadership, SRE responsibilities, and product-focused engineering to automate pipelines and enable real-time content management. A curious generalist by nature, Connor leverages a broad toolkit from front-end UI to backend build processes and enjoys tackling non-obvious developer-experience problems. Outside of work he channels his competitive, team-oriented drive into playing sports—most recently roller derby—bringing the same energy to building high-performing engineering organizations.
