Summary
Marty Cissel is a pragmatic full-stack engineer and co-founder with 11 years of experience building scalable web and SaaS products across startups and large media organizations. He’s led front-end architecture and data flow for high-profile streaming launches at Warner Bros. Discovery, built DTC platforms as a lead developer, and designed SOC 2-compliant full-stack features on AWS for his current startup, DevRox. Comfortable across the stack—from React and Node to serverless Lambda/Dynamo and Cognito—he pairs hands-on coding with product-minded architecture and rapid iteration. His background ranges from mission-critical data recovery and telehealth integrations to enterprise performance tuning (cutting build times tenfold at The Washington Post), showing an uncommon mix of operational rigor and UI focus. Based in New Zealand and self-described as “a programmer from Earth,” he steadily ships practical solutions while mentoring teams and launching products end-to-end.
