Summary
Ted Price is a Staff Engineer and tech lead with 13 years of experience building scalable web platforms and leading engineering teams from startup to mid-market. He’s a pragmatic engineer who prefers shipping value over over-engineering, with deep hands-on experience in Ruby, JavaScript, Go, Rails and service-oriented architectures deployed on AWS and Heroku. Ted has founded a startup, led migration efforts off Heroku, and coached teams to meet ambitious, sometimes “unrealistic,” product goals while maintaining high availability and security. An organizer of the ChicaGoLang meetup and lifelong learner who follows MOOCs, blogs and side projects, he balances practical architecture (hexagonal patterns, BDD/TDD) with curiosity about machine learning. Based in Simsbury, CT, he combines a maker’s mentality—“take the first bullet”—with leadership that scales both code and teams.
