👤
SeniorRussell Ratcliffe is a serial founder and software leader with a decade of experience building product-focused engineering teams and resilient web systems in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Prior roles include staff engineering at Wayfair and co-founding DeepHire, giving him a balance of large-scale product engineering and early-stage execution. Russell blends full-stack technical depth with entrepreneurial judgment, consistently shipping security-minded infrastructure and developer-facing tooling.
