Senior Software Engineer

Jan 2006 - Jan 2008 (2 years 1 month)
First engineer on a weather insurance startup that was sold for $930M in 2013. I built the product from scratch with the founders, helped hire out a team, and evolved the product. The company, born as a weather derivatives product called WeatherBill, initially helped businesses of all kinds hedge against the impact of unfavorable weather events (heat waves, unexpected frost, rain, snow). It ultimately found the most adoption within the agriculture sector where it rapidly grew until it was acquired in 2013.
