thredUP is the leading online marketplace to buy and sell like-new women's and kids' clothing. The company publishes the Annual Resale Report, and pioneered the Clean Out Bag, the most convenient way for consumers to sell clothes they're no longer wearing. It accepts clothing from more than 25,000 women's and kids' brands, and resells the items for up to 90 percent off the original retail price.

After graduating from Michigan State University with a degree in Computer Science Engineering, I moved to Los Angeles to work at a small start-up in Santa Monica doing LAMP development. After 1.5 years of engineering in LA, an opportunity presented itself to become one of the first engineers at thredUP, which resulted in my move to San Francisco in 2010. After roughly 1.5 years of full-stack Rails engineering on thredUP's web team, I became the lead engineer for the team. After 20 months of being the lead, I was promoted to my current position, Director of Shop Engineering, where I oversee our web and mobile engineering efforts.|I am passionate about what I do.
