Ian Schumann is a Technical Program Lead and hands-on software engineering generalist with eight years of experience building full-stack products and leading cross-functional teams from Austin, TX. He blends people-first program and process leadership with deep technical chops—TypeScript, Node, Rails, Swift, React—and a track record of shipping complex backend systems and high-volume ecommerce platforms. Recently focused on applied AI, Ian brings strong prompt- and context-engineering skills honed through iterative evaluation and productionizing LLM-driven features in education tech. His background in linguistics and seven years in client-facing roles give him an unusual edge translating between non-technical stakeholders and engineering teams, keeping everyone aligned and productive. Notable achievements include migrating hundreds of millions of catalog items to a shared backend and launching an AI-powered writing tutor from rapid prototypes to production.
