Senior🎓
Top SchoolSydney Thomas is a Fractional Technical Product Lead and Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building user-centered, scalable web and mobile products across e-commerce, hospitality, proptech, and media. They bridge product strategy and hands-on engineering—translating business goals into architecture, RFCs, and implementation plans while coaching teams through Agile delivery as a Certified Scrum Product Owner. At Shopify they refactored and relaunched an acquired product into Shopify Collabs, driving a 3.5x GMV increase and dramatically higher sign-ups, and at Limehome they owned end-to-end frontend projects and data tooling for revenue management. Now consulting for early-stage AI/ML and consumer startups, Sydney evaluates APIs and models, authors clear technical flows, and partners with founders to align product, brand, and technical trade-offs. Their background in VFX and dailies work gives them an uncommon attention to media workflow, quality, and archival rigor that informs how they design robust delivery pipelines. Based in Berlin, they combine pragmatic execution with a designer’s eye for polished, intentional experiences.
