Hi, I’m Holly! I'm looking for opportunites to deep dive into new tech stacks in hybrid technical and client facing role.

I have an insatiable curiosity about the mechanics behind the magic.

Coding provided an opportunity to peer behind the curtain and apply my drive to learn and resilient nature to new challenges and projects.

My unique blend of client facing and technical skills lead me to work as a Client Integration Engineer at CJ. I help clients leverage the best product features for their unique business needs.

From start up to global company, I enjoy exploring the complexity and needs each client’s set up presents. Ensuring they are set up for success.

I am looking for opportunities to deep dive into new tech stacks in a hybrid technical and client facing role.

Experience

Client Integration Engineer, London, Hybrid 04/2023–present

I was promoted to our Pre-Launch team and now work exclusively with new business. I need to quickly understand each clients business objectives and advise them on the best product set up for their program.This requires an in depth understanding of our online and offline tracking methods so I can communicate effectively with technical and non-technical client points of contact.

Pre-Launch is a small team which supports all new business clients across the UK and Europe. It's fast paced environment which requires attention to detail to ensure the highest technical integrity is achieved while also meeting CJ and the client’s business goals.

I recently joined our Data Domain, which involves using Databricks and Open Search to pull reporting for senior leadership and building dashboards and tools to help my team analyse client data more efficiently.

I continue to train new team members both in my team and other client facing teams in our product offerings. I have hosted 3 company wide workshops on our products.
