Hi, I’m George Roots, a Software Engineering Manager with 20+ years of experience navigating the ever-changing waters of product development, particularly in the exciting worlds of FinTech, EdTech, and mobile. I guess you could say I’ve been around the block a few times (and have the lines on my forehead to prove it!). But that experience has given me a knack for building, leading, and inspiring teams to deliver exceptional results. I thrive on turning complex challenges into innovative solutions, and I’m not afraid to roll up my sleeves and get my hands dirty (metaphorically, of course \u2013 I’m a manager now!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m passionate about leading high-performing teams and crafting elegant code \u2013 with a growing interest in the power of AI. My technical skills lean towards React and JavaScript but I firmly believe people are more important than tools. I consider the ability to hire and grow amazing talent my super power. I’ve had the pleasure of assembling teams that consistently exceed expectations, like the time we took a team from consistently missing deadlines to going a full year without a single slip-up. Another time, I managed an almost entirely offshore team and helped them pivot an in-person business strategy to a thriving online model in just three months during the peak of COVID \u2013 talk about a trial by fire! We also helped raise $500k in capital during that time, proving that remote work can be just as effective, if not more so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m not just about the code and the sprint cycles, though. I genuinely enjoy fostering a positive and productive work environment where everyone feels empowered to contribute their best. Consider me a player-coach \u2013 I’m always ready to jump in and help, but I also know when to step back and let my team shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I’m not busy shaping the future of technology, you can find me whipping up culinary masterpieces in the kitchen (I make a mean lasagna, if I do say so myself), strategizing my next move on the chessboard, or agonizing over my fantasy football lineup (a passion\/obsession for over 15 years!). As a dad of four, I’ve also mastered the art of parallel processing and crisis management \u2013 skills that surprisingly translate well to the tech world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m always eager to connect with fellow professionals, share insights, and explore new opportunities. Let’s connect and chat about how we can build the next big thing together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
