Top SchoolRen Provey is a Head of Software with 19 years of full‑stack experience blending product sensibility, design-minded frontend work, mobile and wearable data integration, and analytics. Based in San Francisco, he has repeatedly grown and matured engineering and product teams—from early startups to scaled organizations—while embedding CI, testing, and sustainable product processes. Ren favors near-constant shipping, hands-on technical leadership, and mentoring practices that turn small teams into reliable delivery engines. He’s led efforts connecting activity streams from consumer wearables to product features and helped expand teams internationally, frequently acting as the bridge between design and engineering.
