Toolkit
Google Tag Manager
11 years of experienceI use Google Tag Manager primarily for the e-commerce projects to drive traffic and optimize conversion rates for different SKUs. Usually I use it together with Segment or Mixpanel for better insights on the customer's journey.
Javascript
27 years of experienceThis is the language I tend to recruit for when I hire junior developers. These days I prefer to use TypeScript subset for multitude of reasons. But I've been using JS long enough to see its evolution, pros and cons and know how to navigate the space with a blindfold.
NodeJS
18 years of experienceI was there during the inception of the technology itself and used it for many successful products. I've used it to build products that touched lives of 100M+ people.
Segment
11 years of experienceIn the projects facing customers we employ Segment to aggregate and direct data in between different custom data feeds we source from Mobile and Web for multitude of our projects + data from the walled gardens.
Stripe
15 years of experienceWe do a lot of FinTech, Stripe plays a center role in some of the payment processing. We usually use it together with services like Plaid or Galileo.
Industries
SaaS
Eventually most of the products I've helped launch ended up building a recurring business model around them, and software based services and variations became a goto model for our new launches as well.
