About Adam Hobson
I'm a software engineering leader dedicated to fostering collaborative, inclusive teams, nurturing intelligent risks and delivering outsized impact. My passion is crafting high quality software for people. I'm currently enjoying the developer platform and productivity space, empowering engineers with a delightful and effective developer experience via application infrastructure and tools. I gravitate towards the frontend of the stack–mobile, web and API–where software meets a human. Highlights: - Transformative Technical Impact: Achieved a 100% increase in LinkedIn’s Flagship Web platform’ Net Satisfaction (NSAT), elevating it from 59 to a peak of 118. Led the final stages to overhaul LinkedIn’s Flagship API monolith, transitioning it into a flexible ecosystem of loosely-coupled services. - Innovative Platform Development: Pioneered development of LinkedIn's first full-stack platform, reducing onboarding costs by 92% and boosting member engagement by 11%. Sponsored a new charter to develop infrastructure to accelerate product platform development. - Entrepreneurial Ventures: Founded and nurtured innovative practices and products at eBay Enterprise, guiding multiple initiatives from inception to successful execution. Constructed and led teams from scratch, growing them to a size of 10. Delivered $3 million in incremental revenue within the first year. I'm always open to connect with fellow professionals, discuss exciting projects, and explore new opportunities. Let’s connect!
