Howard Reith is a multidisciplinary creator who blends eight years of software engineering with a parallel career in musical theatre, writing, and entrepreneurship based in New York. He’s built full‑stack web applications across startups and enterprise teams—shipping features at Audible, Kessel Run, Cricket Health, and Medly—while applying XP practices and modern stacks like React, Spring Boot, Node, and relational databases. As a founder and stealth‑startup engineer, he focuses on products that support personal health, productivity, and creative work, bringing a user‑centered perspective rooted in his performing arts background. Before engineering, he managed complex grants and finance workflows in healthcare, giving him strong cross‑functional program and compliance experience. Known for switching hats between performer, author, and coder, he leverages communication and storytelling skills to translate domain needs into practical, user-friendly systems. Ambidextrous between stage and stack, he brings entrepreneurial grit and creative empathy to product development.
