Hi, I'm Jared Rapp. I have over 10 years of experience as a full stack engineer and nearly 4 years as a VP of engineering where I managed a team of 6 senior product engineers. At that role I worked directly with the leadership team to translate business objectives into engineering projects and then with my engineering team to bring them to life. Along the way I had the opportunity to present to the board of directors, pitch our company to potential acquirers, perform countless diligence exercises and ultimately navigate a bankruptcy process.
On the development side I'm just as happy writing software as I am hosting it, optimizing it or monitoring it for problems.
Most of my experience has been in online e-commerce which involved countless a/b tests, hundreds of marketing technology integrations, load testing and performance optimization (I hate Black Friday!). We also built some amazingly engaging experiences including a fashion crowdsourcing platform and a live streaming shopping experience where customers could chat with our staff as we launched new products daily. In a prior life I also built Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS).
I'm open to consulting, contracting, full or part time work.
I'm also open to pick-up basketball in San Francisco!
