Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolShaun Mulligan is a product-focused engineering leader with 12 years’ experience building developer and IoT products, currently serving as Product Lead at balena after previously scaling their team from 7 to 100. He blends hands-on technical chops (MSc in Electrical Engineering, mechatronics background) with product and growth roles—from developer evangelism to heading marketing and support—so he ships delightful, low-friction user experiences. Shaun has led research into self-replicating 3D printers, prototyping 3D-printed stepper motors and copper-electroplated coils, and even built a single-purpose AndroidOS for repurposing phones as print controllers. An active open-source contributor to balena’s docs, he pairs rigorous documentation and developer ergonomics with experimental hardware work, and balances it all from Barcelona while being an avid cyclist.
