Sean Richardson

I’m a full stack Software Engineer passionate about fighting climate change. Known for producing high quality code, collaborating with product and design, and thorough PR reviews, I learn quickly, and pride myself on providing great customer service to both neighboring teams and end users.

I have experience with TypeScript, React, Python, Ruby, PostgreSQL, HTTP, Docker, Go, and AWS. I recently built Waypost, an open-source feature flag management platform that specializes in A/B testing.

Testimonials


"Sean was a rising star at Indigo. He was a quick learner who understood the product and business domain, and applied that knowledge to his work. He was professional, spent time on PRs, held engineers significantly his senior to a higher standard, and moved across projects easily when there was a need. I was able to trust Sean with very high priority work."


- Rebecca Herron / Senior Software Engineering Manager @ IndigoAg


"Sean is one of the favorite engineers I've worked with over my past few years at Indigo. He has impeccable attention to detail and is always so receptive to feedback. Sean is one of those rare engineers who I know I can trust to build out a feature without a lot of oversight - he'll leave no edge case unconsidered, and is great at getting himself unstuck by asking the right people the right questions. I hope our paths cross again someday!"


- Andrew Jones / Tech Lead and Staff Software Engineer, IndigoAg


"As a Product Manager, I strongly recommend Sean as a Full-stack Engineer- any team would be lucky to have him! He jumped into a highly complex product on my squad, and I’ve never met a faster learner. He is curious and effortlessly asks the right questions; he’s highly conscientious, fast, driven, communicative and transparent. Whenever ambiguity arises, Sean makes great technical proposals with the customer and company mission top of mind. He’s also a delightful and easy-going teammate!"


- Kris Moreau / Senior Product Manager, IndigoAg


"I wholeheartedly recommend Sean as a Full Stack Developer. Their relentless work ethic, thirst for knowledge, and outstanding teamwork made them an excellent member of our team at IndigoAg. Sean always asked insightful questions, contributed to projects with dedication, and demonstrated a commitment to writing clean, efficient code. Their positive attitude and eagerness to learn made a significant impact on our development efforts, and I am confident they will excel in any future role they pursue. I would work with Sean again in a heartbeat."


- Josh Finnie / Senior Software Engineer, People Data Labs


"As a product designer, I had the opportunity to work with Sean across several squads during our time together at Indigo. Over the course of our work on many complex projects, Sean proved himself to be a vital asset on our team as he demonstrated a keen eye for detail and a strong ability to provide constructive feedback to help improve the designs. His insightful and well-thought-out questions always challenged assumptions and helped us make more informed decisions. I highly recommend Sean to anyone looking for a skilled software engineer who is an excellent collaborator and all around great teammate!"


- Seph Lang / Senior Product Designer, IndigoAg


"Sean was a great developer to work with. Always eager to learn new things (which he did quickly), take on new challenges, and work his way through problems. He's self motivated and can take on tasks independently, but knows when to ask for help or get more context which is a great skill for a newer developer. I definitely would love to work with him again"


- Dillon Shook / Principal Software Engineer, IndigoAg


"I had the distinct pleasure of working with Sean for over a year together at Indigo. He is an excellent young Engineer. I can attest that he consistently tackled complex problems independently, had excellent attention to detail in-code, tests & documentation and communicated very effectively across teams and initiatives. Given the opportunity I would gladly hire Sean for any role needing an excellent Software Engineer!"

Waypost is an open-source, lightweight, self-hosted feature flag management platform that specializes in A/B Testing.

Waypost provides feature flag management infrastructure that integrates with an organization’s application and existing user event logging system. Waypost allows developers to control functionality remotely without deploying code and to run A/B tests to determine how a new feature impacts user behavior and business goals.
