Summary
Keith Avery is a senior developer and engineering manager based in Washington, D.C., with roughly two decades of software experience and 17 years in progressive leadership roles. He has led and scaled engineering teams across startups and established firms—driving product migrations, SaaS platforms, and location-intelligence and edtech products from architecture through delivery. Known for improving coding standards and engineering processes, he’s shipped major platform migrations (Drupal to Rails) and a custom HTML5 WYSIWYG editor that enabled textbook customization at scale. At Monaeo and Perchwell he combined domain-driven thinking with hands-on execution to solve real-world business travel and real-estate challenges. Comfortable across Python, Ruby, PHP and full-stack development, he pairs pragmatic technical decisions with strong stakeholder collaboration to deliver on-time, under-budget results.
