Paul Dowman

I help software development succeed. I help lead the App Platform at Shopify.

I like adventures and I like solving problems. In my 25 year career I have built many products, led software development teams, and built a successful company. I have created popular open source projects, organized conferences with hundreds of people, built two successful training programs, and built trust with all whom I have worked with.

Give me a goal and I'll make it happen.

I'm the organizer of the Assert(js) conference, a co-organizer of TorontoJS, organizer of GraphQL Toronto and other events.

I love to talk about software development at scale, the business of technology, and ecommerce. If you're working on similar things, or have an interesting technology, process, or culture problem/opportunity feel free to get in touch.
