StaiyChief Technology Officer | Tech Lead | React, TypeScript, Python, Machine Learning
Jul. 2020 - Mar. 2022Berlin, GermanyStaiy was an e-commerce startup in the area of sustainable fashion. When I joined the company, it was still trying to ramp up sales and internal processes, both at the technical and business level. It was my mission to scale the tech department, collaborate with the operations team, ensure quality of our processes and develop the software together with our team. I built a prototype of a machine-learning image-based search engine for fashion products, re-did the entire website together with our design team and fixed countless backend integration issues present in the stack I inherited from the first day I joined, while simultaneously scaling the software development team from me to 5-10 people over the course of the first 18 months. After a 500,000 euros investment, the company wanted to scale down its technology costs to focus on the brand of the company by moving to Shopify; at that moment, I decided to leave the company and pursue more ambitious technical goals. Staiy was sold to IVALO in 2024.
