He also held an engineering leadership role at Facebook, where he directed software engineering, DevOps, and the architect team and implemented key processes for software development. Before these roles, Shingate was VP of software development at United Online, where he helped build the platform for NetZero, MyPoints and Classmates.com. Most recently he served as chief technology officer of Raise, where he architected the company’s microservice platform and launched the mobile-first instant pay product.
