Building the Systems Behind Qwick's Marketplace Growth
I joined Qwick as an early engineer, when the company was still proving its marketplace model. As it grew to 23 markets and more than 500,000 completed shifts, I moved into senior engineering leadership while staying close to the product and the work itself.
I built two mobile applications, two web applications, a GraphQL API, and the internal operations platform that coordinated shifts, Stripe payments, and Twilio messaging. I also improved critical tooling to handle traffic spikes above 20,000 requests per second.
As the company grew, I helped expand engineering from two people to more than 20. I hired and mentored engineers, created an onboarding program that cut ramp-up time in half, and worked closely with Product, Design, Data, and Operations to turn customer and business needs into clear technical decisions and reliable releases.
The job changed as Qwick grew, but the responsibility stayed the same: understand what was getting in the way, make the tradeoffs clear, and build what the product and team needed next.
