Eight years at Unbxd (now part of Netcore), growing the Unbxd PIM from a brand-new product into an AI-powered Product Experience platform — and moving from Technical Lead to Director of Engineering along the way.
What I built
- The PIM, from scratch — channel-agnostic product content management with an interface designed around users’ muscle memory, including an Advanced Excel mode that became an industry benchmark.
- An ML attribute-mapping engine — auto-detecting data types and mapping product attributes and schema across connected systems, with platform-specific validation and reporting.
- Pepper-X, a PaaS — no-code / low-code capabilities so teams could build bespoke apps, plugins, and UIs on top of the PIM and ship faster.
- A Kubernetes / Argo platform — for scalable, long-running jobs and bulk operations, with robust CI/CD on Kubernetes and Docker.
Reach
Integrations across Shopify, Amazon, BigCommerce, Magento, and WooCommerce, plus official tech partnerships with Walmart, eBay, and Etsy — extending the platform into new markets and onboarding enterprise customers end to end.
