About Eric McEntee

Senior engineering leader with 15+ years of experience leading teams through growth, M&A, and platform evolution — from startup chaos to scalable, reliable systems. I thrive at the intersection of architecture, team leadership, and stakeholder collaboration, especially when there\'s a real product mission behind the work.I do my best work leading engineering teams through complex, high-impact problems — especially where clear communication, stakeholder alignment, and technical credibility matter. I\'m hands-on enough to stay close to the code (via prototyping, automation, or live support), not to own the mainline, but to contribute meaningfully and model accountability.Over the years, I\'ve built high-performing teams that accelerate product delivery, improve platform reliability, and fuel revenue growth. I care deeply about mentorship, continuous improvement, and building engineering orgs that stay sharp and adaptable. I\'m a lifelong learner — regularly exploring new technologies through structured courses and projects.Currently exploring opportunities that combine system-level thinking, hands-on contribution, and cross-functional leadership — with a growing interest in AI/automation platforms and applied machine learning at the edge.CORE COMPETENCIES• Team Development & Mentorship • Cloud & DevOps Integration • SaaS/iPaaS Architecture • AI Prototyping & Automation • Cross-Functional Alignment • Secure SDLC & OperationsTECHNICAL SKILLS• Systems & Architecture - Distributed Systems, REST APIs, AWS (EC2, RDS, Redshift)• Automation & Tooling - Python, Git, Postman, Zoho Deluge, webhook-based integrations• SaaS & Data Platforms - Zoho CRM, HubSpot, Airtable, NetSuite, Workato, Zoho Flow• Emerging Tech - Docker, LangChain, vector DBs, n8n, Flask, AI agents (OpenAI, Gemini)
