WORK HISTORY
Lead Software Engineer @Inscopix, Inc
Vancouver, BC, CA
In these last two years my focus has been on driving growth within the Inscopix Data Exploration & Sharing cloud platform and the Data Product team — in sales and customer base, in processes and maturity, in scalability and usability, and most importantly in the team around me.I have designed and driven the implementation of hundreds of new product features based on the feedback of our customers from over a hundred different academic institutions and industry leaders. The product has transformed in this time to match the vision I helped set years ago, maturing from a tightly-focused MVP into a highly adaptable and scalable generalized solution for scientific data management and analysis. These features include a wholly new paradigm for joining and linking scientific datasets, the ability for users to upload and securely execute custom analysis code, and complex data interactivity capabilities allowing users to view and edit multimodal research data directly in their browser.Aside from user-sourced feature requests, I partnered closely with our Commercial and Support teams to ensure our roadmap represented their needs in driving sales and minimizing the support burden of an ever-expanding user base. Standing at the nexus of external and internal stakeholders, I have managed the planning, prioritization, and deployment of engineering resources to effectively grow our platform while supporting our existing users.But of course I could never do all this alone;my own area of greatest growth has been in helping to develop the team and processes necessary to maintain this rapid rate of development. I would say what I value most in my work is, in the end, enabling others to realize their best potential—to understand where they want to go and how they want to grow and create the conditions to facilitate that. Creating those paths and seeing junior engineers grow to be confident and capable architects, designers, and visionaries has been the greatest reward possible.

ABOUT BEE NEUFELD
I am a storyteller. I am a designer. I am an engineer, but my true interests lie with people and their experiences - code is just one medium and set of tools to reach them with.I’ve been a \"web developer\" since before I turned ten (my first project being an Age of Empires fan site for the Mac release in 2001), and I have been immersed in that world ever since. From that point on, I started making websites for any and every interest I had, for my friends, for family, for non-profits and educators. I designed blogs, e-commerce sites, online learning and events platforms, Flash games - I even scraped my university’s course portal to create alternative visual weekly schedules with suggested classes that fit.In 2015, ahead of the Canadian federal election, I created a website which allowed anyone to easily look up the voting records of their MP (https://globalnews.ca/news/22•••64/canadian-brothers-create-website-to-show-mps-bill-voting-history/). Shortly after, I joined Medallia and spent 3 years designing bespoke integrations to deliver customer and employee feedback across all levels of business, from frontline to executives.In 2020, I joined Inscopix to lead the development of a brand new SaaS platform for managing, analyzing, and sharing neuroscience research data, an ambitious project started from scratch that is now in use in over a hundred institutions in academia and industry. My role in this has been far from limited to software engineer: I was a recruiter, a designer, a coder, an architect, a product manager, an engineering manager, a mentor, IT support, office admin, event planner, and release manager. Over the past five years, I have helped build a team and its culture from the ground up, and through blood, sweat, and tears we built a platform that supports scientific and medical research around the world.My home is JavaScript/TypeScript and React based applications, but I am very comfortable in the world of Python, and have worked in C++ and Java, too.But more than working in any language, what I enjoy is understanding and facilitating human experiences—building intuitive applications that allow them to put their thoughts, research, products, and ideas out into the world. I enjoy being an interface between the technical and the creative, the demands of business and end-users, and the management of resources and opportunities. I enjoy getting to know people deeply—who they are, what they want, and how they want to grow—and clearing the path for them to realize that potential.
