An engineering leader with 10-years of remote leadership experience and taken multiple companies from pre-seed investment through acquisition. A proven track record of hiring, inspiring and leading high-performing engineering teams. Does not shy away from a challenge and is driven to do what it takes to drive successful company outcomes.
Building tooling to serve our managed detection and response platform. Our platform reliably processes almost a petabyte of data per day, allowing customers to detect and combat threats against their systems in real-time.
Built a regulatory and compliance system for the pharmaceutical and medical device industries to streamline FDA approval.
Designed a system that lowered the cost of identity verification in the EU by 80% while also negating any security risk from storing identity-related information on company systems.
Homebot processed 30 years of public records to build custom estimation models, allowing homeowners to maximize the wealth in their homes without giving away any personal information to private companies.
At AgilData, I took over a struggling 8-year-old startup that was pivoting their product to compete in the Big Data sector against technologies like Apache Spark and Hadoop using an in-house Java-based SQL data store.
Designed an engineering organization and architecture to meet the ICANN compliance requirements to run the .secure domain. Every domain was scanned in real-time for any security vulnerabilities and would be locked down within seconds, preventing an attacker from deploying an attack against our customer's systems.
Built a SaaS business specializing in customized HA deployments of MongoDB. As a solo-founder, the company was bootstrapped to profitability and was acquired by Compose in 2011 to expand their product-line with a custom-deployment option. This boost in profitability led them to being acquired by IBMMongo Machine was a company I founded that specialized on deployment of customized MongoDB deployments. After growing it to profitability as a bootstrapped company, it was acquired by Compose, an IBM company, in 2011.
We hired Justin as our first senior engineer. This was a big moment for us. We were still only three people and hiring our first engineer was a significant step. We put a lot of time into interviewing many candidates. When we found Justin, we knew we had our guy -- and on many levels. His depth of knowledge in software architecture; large, highly-available databases; complex subscription models; and security architectures were of paramount importance to us and not easy to find in one individual. Justin has made a significant contribution to the growth and scalability of Homebot [...]
Justin lead a distributed development team, including some extremely junior engineers, to quickly design, prototype and deploy our web-scale vulnerability detection platform. He was a joy to work with, and while we were physically separate I never had any problem with communication or motivation with Justin. I would strongly recommend Justin for any mission-critical development projects.
Justin brings a remarkable range of technological breadth as an engineering leader. I hired Justin at Artemis Internet as the first Lead Engineer to develop a complex, automated vulnerability assessment system. He quickly engaged with our contract house, Pivotal Labs, coming up to full speed in a matter of days, much of it while working remotely. His responsibilities grew rapidly, commensurate with our company’s growth.
