Or you can just call me by my last name, Sloan, everyone else does š. Iām an Atlanta based Software Engineer with a Design background. My days are currently spent as a Senior Staff Engineer at Mailchimp, where I've been since 2012.
I got my start in the world of design with furniture as my focus of study at Georgia Tech. It was here that I discovered the joy of designing components to build delightful, flexible, and most importantly usable systems.
I honed that skill at Digital Scientists while working in a new medium of web/application design. Eventually, I learning enough of the craft of development to venture out on my own and support my design colegues clients as a web developer.
In 2012 the opportunity to work at Mailchimp came up and I grabbed it. Here I've really built my career as an engineer by going from a team of two and growing alongside the company to now be an IC leader on a team of over 30. My focus has stayed though on how parts can be built into systems that lead to delighted users.
