• Lead the technical discovery and implementation of several major features, such as:
• Expansions (Product Led Growth Initiative) - internal nudges in the system for people to buy new products and expand. The main goal of the feature was to increase the company's MRR, and it did so by generating 100+ leads in the first month of the launch.
• Email Master Thread - onboarding new clients and tracking the whole communication with them was hard, so we introduced an internal feature to track all communication per client in a single email thread. This helped our customers see the whole conversation in a single email thread in their email client, as well as our internal Compliance team to track everything more easily.
• US Growth Program - a way for small to medium companies to use Payhawk in a self-serve manner, without talking to sales and asking for access; https://payhawk.com/en-us/pricing-and-plans and https://portal.payhawk.com/apply/us
• I took part in many technical interviews, onboarding new teammates, and mentoring less experienced folks.
