Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSebastian Opperman is a seasoned engineering leader and Head of Product with nine years of hands-on experience building web platforms, design systems, and automated DevOps workflows. Based in Calgary, he has led teams and founded an agency that converted designs into high-performance WordPress, Shopify, and React solutions, and recently transitioned from engineering lead roles into product leadership at Receptive. His background spans full-stack Next.js and headless WordPress work, custom Shopify themes, CI/CD automation, and design-first implementations that bridge UX and engineering. Sebastian is comfortable shipping end-to-end features, setting up testing and deployment pipelines, and mentoring engineers to close the gap between design and delivery. He brings an unusual combination of visual design roots (logo and print design) and deep frontend/DevOps craft, which helps him translate product vision into polished, maintainable experiences. Known for pragmatic leadership, he often serves as the technical lead on cross-functional projects while keeping an eye on developer experience and operational reliability.
