Hi there, I’m Shawn, and I’ve had quite the journey in the world of software engineering and project management. Alongside my love for flying, which led me to become a FAA Certificated Private Pilot, I’ve had the opportunity to work with some amazing companies and clients.

Currently, I’m a Technology Director in the New York area, where I lead a talented team of engineers. Together, we tackle projects for top-tier clients like SunRun, Mayo Clinic, and P&G with great success and client satisfaction. My tech stack includes everything from NodeJS and ReactJS to C++, Google Cloud to AWS, allowing me to spearhead the creation of reliable and scalable software solutions for web and mobile platforms.

Before AKQA, I spent time at BCGX (BCG Digital Venture), VML / Y&R Brands, FCB and a multitude of startups, honing my skills and making meaningful contributions to ventures like Fern Health and clients such as Merck Pharmaceuticals, LG, and US Soccer. Whether it’s designing and implementing APIs or troubleshooting production issues, I thrive on finding innovative solutions to complex problems.

“It’s inspiring to be amongst countless melanated people harnessing their energy and passion, deciding what they want to give to society versus what they will get from it—finding success through entrepreneurial and philanthropic ventures while inspiring generations old and young that no person or group can make you feel inferior without your permission. Realise there are no barriers to what you can achieve collectively.”
