Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIan Terrell is a senior software engineer and engineering leader with 17 years of experience building backend systems and iOS/tvOS applications across startups, agencies, and research institutions. He has led teams and shipped products at scale—from reducing crash rates two orders of magnitude on a consumer app to architecting ETL and analytics pipelines with AWS, Redshift, and dbt for e-learning platforms. Ian blends hands-on implementation (Node.js, Ruby on Rails, Objective-C/Swift) with technical leadership roles including VP of Engineering and Director of Engineering, and he has a knack for improving developer workflows through code review processes and tooling. Based in Charlottesville, VA, he pairs a curious maker’s background (co-founding web projects and building custom SDK/generator tooling) with pragmatic product delivery at organizations like Facebook, Skafos.ai, and the University of Virginia.
