Experience

Shoobx

http://www.shoobx.com
As a legal automation system for startups, Shoobx is the one place where entrepreneurs, lawyers, investors, and board members can come together to generate, review, approve, and execute company documents. It's a system of record, execution, and engagement built to simplify standard corporate legal processes so entrepreneurs can focus on what matters most: their company.

I was part of the founding engineering team that created the proof-of-concept prototype. I went on to automate the infrastructure and deployment. And, finally, I owned development for an HR area of functionality.
