Andrew Hite

As the founding engineer and head of engineering at P6 Technologies, I architected and built a platform for calculating the carbon intensity and footprint of the manufacturing processes for dozens of industries via lifecycle assessment, while building a team of engineers to scale the application past our MVP.

As the Director of Engineering for the ShipEngine go-to-market (GTM) I reported directly to the CTO of Auctane, and led three teams responsible for multiple web-based shipping products, including the ShipEngine Dashboard, a white-label solution for PayPal, and a design system used for multiple products in the Auctane portfolio. During this time I formed a new team to architect and develop a multi-tenant, themable suite of shipping components, reducing the cost for both internal and external ShipEngine consumers to integrate the ShipEngine API into their applications. My responsibilities included architecture of critical applications, strategic direction and goal-setting, collaboration with the GTM and executive leadership team, development of a hiring strategy to grow my teams, collaborating with other engineering and product leadership, setting the technical direction for my teams and mentoring both managers and senior members of my teams.

During my time as Engineering Manager for the ShipEngine Apps team at Auctane, I led a team of 10 engineers through the development and launch of a shipping solution for PayPal (handling shipping label purchases for millions of PayPal users), the ShipEngine Dashboard, and multiple ecosystem integrations. My responsibilities were focused on building and mentoring the team, managing multiple concurrent projects, directing technical implementation of TypeScript / React applications, and implementing an Agile development process.
