About Sameer Mehra

I\'m an experienced full stack engineer and CTO with experience at big companies and startups. I built PlayMaker from scratch, which supports the work of sponsorship professionals and brings their sponsorship management workflows into the future. The platform includes a robust fronted UI in React, along with a backend written in Python.During my tenure at LinkedIn I built a CMS from the ground up, and improved the ads platform at LinkedIn. This work involved managing the creation, serving, tracking, and reporting of ads for external clients. I enjoy building delightful user experiences, as well as sophisticated backend systems with multiple components.
