Summary
Timothy Schiller is an Associate Director of Product Engineering based in New York with 13 years of experience blending hands-on engineering, product ownership, and design leadership. He currently leads product engineering and design for E-Mill at RAPP, and previously grew Renobase from zero to key customers by personally translating user research into production Next.js/TypeScript/AWS features that generated over $4M in assessment repairs. Comfortable across the stack, he has built single-page apps with Angular/Backbone/D3 and backend services in Python/Ruby, and established standardized front-end libraries and developer workflows at enterprise scale. Timothy pairs technical craft with go-to-market instincts—having served as both founding GTM lead and engineer—so his decisions balance usability, business impact, and maintainability. His academic background in English from Berkeley and Oxford plus formal training at Hack Reactor gives him an unusual mix of narrative-focused product thinking and rigorous software engineering. Colleagues describe him wryly on GitHub as “usually anionic,” hinting at a dry sense of humor behind pragmatic leadership.
