He is recuperating for the next year or so, while focusing on his anti-fraud passion project above. Technical Experience: Pierce started writing web applications in 2000 when there were no stacks, so he built his own web server in C++ that supported dynamically generated web pages. As time has gone on, other people have implemented stacks, so Pierce has ported himself over a few times, learning new technologies as needed. So Pierce is "full stack" by virtue of having had to work at all levels. Managerial Experience: At Chegg, Pierce came in as a Principal Engineer to build a compute cloud on AWS to do content ingestion; 40,000 textbooks in 2 weeks. That work eventually led to him managing the eReader group, then on to Director of Customer Operations, which meant overseeing delivery of the atoms (physical textbooks) and the electrons (digital content), and managing 2.5 offshore, 1 onshore, and 1 local team for a total of 19 people total. At SkyPort, Pierce did a team-turnaround of the UI team after their leader went back to SalesForce and upgraded their UI technical stack, grew the team, and improved delivery schedules and reliability of the team. At Cisco, Pierce started a new product that ended up being 33% of the revenue for 15% of unit sales because it had twice the margins of the mainline product.
