Eric Catlin
Leader in Software & Organization
Seattle Wa. USA
About me: I have been writing software since 2010, working across industies and specialties. I consider myself full-stack, having worked with projects and technologies ranging from Graph Databases, Machine Learning, Realtime WebApps, 3d AR/VR experiences, web-crawlers, and sometimes even simple react apps. Since 2018 my focus has been on working in fullstack enterprise and ecommerce web environments, as well as acting as a leader amongst multiple varied engineering ecosystems and teams. Over my professional career I consistently strive to ever higher standards for myself while also fostering open and engaged communities with strong and clear communication and organizational practices.

I led high-complexity initiatives for a multi-billion-dollar ecommerce platform across security, compliance, privacy, SRE, performance, and global delivery. I coordinated multi-team execution across agile and waterfall programs, aligned with corporate priorities, and drove major transformations, international rollouts, experimentation, and release governance. I stayed hands-on with micro-frontends, module federation, and reusable UI systems, mentored engineers, partnered with architects and product leaders, and delivered measurable business outcomes.
