Head Of Engineering
DoubleDutch
https://www.linkedin.com/company/doubledutch
My role at DoubleDutch evolved in many different ways over the course of minor and major restructuring events. I managed product matrix teams such as Consumer Experience and Data Analytics, as well as functional teams like Web, QA, IT, DevOps, Information Security, and Tier-3 Technical Support.

At its largest, I oversaw a distributed organization of 22 full-time and contract engineers across four countries, 11 of whom were direct reports in San Francisco. My day-to-day consisted primarily of people and performance management, as well as hiring/recruiting and Agile process improvement.

I was responsible for the DevOps, Web, IT, QA, and InfoSec domains, focusing on initiatives like infrastructure as a service, penetration testing, dynamic front-end web applications, and test automation.

Achievements:
• Analyzed, socialized, planned, and coordinated a large-scale infrastructure migration project to bring DoubleDutch systems into modern cloud technologies and operational practices in AWS.
• Formalized information security policies and processes to enable a new line of enterprise business
Introduced web development as a discipline (in a mobile-centric company), and on-boarded and managed a remote, contract team that was embedded into the product development process

        I have worked for Amy for the past year, and it has been a pleasure working under her guidance and direction.  One of Amy’s many strengths is how comfortable she is in her leadership role.  As a result, she gives autonomy and flexibility to the team, allowing team members to thrive and get work done efficiently and effectively.  At the same time, she always makes herself available for support and guidance whenever needed.  She never hesitates to champion team growth through training and development.  Amy’s good nature, dedication to the well-being of her teams, and natural leadership abilities make her an absolute joy for whom to work, and I certainly hope I get an opportunity to work with her again in the future.

        Amy has been an incredible source of support and leadership at DoubleDutch. She is communicative, involved, reliable and responsive. 

She makes the effort to be actively transparent and improve the productivity of the entire organization doing everything from writing detailed (yet digestible) postmortems for our customer success team to being candid and constructive during 1:1s.

Amy is reliable and inspires trust in her fellow coworkers. Even in the chaotic demands of startup life, Amy takes the time to foster well being in those around her and is generous with her time. During my tenure at DoubleDutch Amy took the initiative to reach out and understand the challenges I faced in my role and actively helped out - even when I wasn’t her direct report. She goes above and beyond to help people succeed. 

I would consider myself fortunate to have an opportunity to work for Amy in the future.
