I'm Amy Turrin, a digital and engineering leader on the coast of Maine. I enjoy shipping ambitious work with good people, and I'd love to find the right team to build with next.
Full-time leadership roles, open to select project work.
A short note
Long before the web ran everything, I was building on it, and I still love the moment something works and comes to life. Most of the last 15 years went into leading digital platforms and the teams behind them, most recently a $5M portfolio across global consumer brands at Kimberly-Clark. At my best, I turn aging, tangled platforms into something a team can build on, technical enough to earn my engineers' trust and senior enough to own the org and roadmap around it. I'm on the Maine coast now, looking for the right fit, with room for the occasional build I can't resist.

Portfolio
Selected work, including the site you're reading.
An itsy bitsy, open-source CMS named editsy! Small sites often keep their content in typed files, which developers love and everyone else needs a developer to touch. editsy puts a friendly editing form on top of the files a site already has, so anyone can fix a typo from a simple login while the developer keeps clean files and a reviewable diff of every change. Edits preview live as you type and publish as clean git commits.
A community site for Maine Chill Women's Hockey in Portland. I build and maintain it as a member of the board, giving players one place to find upcoming skates, follow the season, and connect with the league.
