Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHarold N is a Senior Engineering Manager in New York with 13 years of experience leading full‑stack teams and shipping web applications across startups and mid‑sized companies. He blends hands‑on engineering (Python, JavaScript, Ruby on Rails, PHP) with product-minded leadership at Etsy and prior roles at The Orchard and Food52, driving systems for media processing, CMS, and e-commerce. Experienced in Agile team organization and privacy-focused engineering, he pairs practical delivery chops with a curiosity for functional programming languages like Clojure and Standard ML. His background teaching contextual inquiry and the history of computing informs a user-centered, research-driven approach to technical decisions. Comfortable architecting both backend pipelines (ffmpeg/MediaConvert, AWS) and performant frontends, he’s equally likely to prototype in OCaml or dive into WebPerf optimizations.
