Full stack product web engineer with 10+ years of experience focused on delivering business value. Have worked at Rippling, Facebook Ads, and Flexport. My sweet spot seems to be hardening B2B SaaS apps from the "tech demo" stage into a robust product, but that is a starting point, not a constraint. I have delivered value to smaller companies, larger companies, and consumer facing companies too.
Note that I am currently on holiday, and will not be responding to reachouts or updating my woefully outdated LinkedIn profile until Monday, July 13th.
I'm a heavy user of git-spice: https://abhinav.github.io/git-spice (created by a former coworker) and can't really go back to a time without it. While still not nearly as good as Facebook's Phabricator, it's probably the best workflow for small, focused stacked PRs you can achieve in a Github / Gitlab based repository.
I was Triplebyte's first engineering placement. I still remember going to a random SoMa apartment with Harj and Ammon and Guillaume and coding up tetris in ruby, having no prior experience with game loops. That landed me a job with Flexport in 2016. I doubt that I would have gotten that placement without Triplebyte. So I am quite grateful that they existed, for jumpstarting my early career.
With that said, when it came time to look for a job again a few years later, I did chat with Triplebyte but ultimately took an offer through other contacts that I had built up by then.
Hi, I'm Michael. Product developer. Formerly at Facebook and Flexport. Full stack, but recent projects have been more frontend focused. Preference for slightly boring problems that provide real business value.
I just watched a video about this, that basically goes over all your points:
"Air Cargo's Coronavirus Problem" by Wendover Productions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2oPk20OHBE
A summary of the video:
- Passenger flight belly cargo used to be responsible for 25% of air cargo capacity, so capacity is severely reduced.
- PPE emergency logistics has caused a huge spike in demand, since PPE allocations are currently too volatile for anything except for air cargo. Air cargo prices are high.
- Government funding for airlines require pilots to remain on salary, so there's no additional marginal cost of labor.
- The biggest marginal cost of a flight, the cost of fuel, has understandably also become very cheap.
The end result is that even though it's still quite inefficient as compared to dedicated freight planes, the perfect storm of circumstances makes passenger-planes-as-cargo-planes momentarily profitable.
