Most growth marketers wait. On dev to merge the tracking PR.

On design for the creative. On data for the dashboard. The projects take weeks because half the time is spent in someone else's queue. I stopped waiting. I'm a growth operator who ships the engineering work himself. I didn't come up as a software engineer. I learned to use AI to close the gap between what a growth team wants to do and what its tooling actually allows, and then I built the tools. A few things I've shipped: Cadence, a self-hosted A/B testing platform I built as a production Google Optimize replacement. Visual editor, code injection, redirect testing, and a Claude-powered builder that turns a plain-English description into a live test. It runs ~10K events/day for a live client. I made the stack and data-model decisions myself. An AI creative pipeline on the Anthropic and ai APIs that produces image and video ads from a structured strategic brief, no designer in the loop. The AI-generated creatives ran 50% higher CTR than the non-AI control. Full-stack Segment instrumentation across a backend and two Angular frontends, with the tracking PRs merged into the client's codebase by their own engineering team. Underneath the tooling is 10+ years of the actual growth work: built a growth practice from zero to $2-3M at Vokal with an 8-person team, took a consumer app from 0 to 360K downloads, ran $750K/month in paid acquisition, and rebuilt the full data and experimentation stack for an AI SaaS (75% signup lift, 50% churn reduction, 30% lower CPA). I'm looking for senior IC or director-level growth, GTM engineering, or marketing analytics roles at technical SaaS, dev tools, and AI infrastructure companies. The kind of place that wants someone who can own the strategy and also ship the thing. co
