Paul 'unr' Morrison
Engineering Manager
Engineering Manager with 8+ years leading frontend teams from startup to public company. Experienced hiring, growing, and managing teams of up to 14 direct reports. Track record of co-owning product roadmaps, driving technical strategy, and building team culture in high-growth environments. Deep frontend expertise (Vue/Nuxt, TypeScript) gives me the ability to unblock engineers, review architecture, and make informed trade-offs without abstraction.
