Summary
Pete Shaw is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building customer-focused products and leading engineering teams across fast-growing SaaS businesses. He pairs pragmatic, product-led delivery with deep technical chops in JavaScript/TypeScript (Node/React), GraphQL, PostgreSQL, queues, and cloud infrastructure (CI/k8s/GCP), and has production Golang experience. At Humaans he led complex projects—permissioning, audit logs (BigQuery+Postgres) and webhooks—that directly unlocked enterprise revenue and improved developer experience. Equally comfortable wire-framing UX, tackling scalability problems, or debugging live incidents, he champions observability, type-safe APIs (Rescript/Relay adoption) and incremental rollouts. Now at Sylvera, he continues to blend user research-informed design with robust engineering practices, and he’s recently been exploring Elixir and formal product design through Shift Nudge.
