My name is Harold Treen. Here's a little bit about what I do.
If you want to know what I'm currently up to, you can visit my Now page.
I currently work on the Design Tools team. When I first joined I did a stint on Instagram Web.
Squarespace
I worked at Squarespace for just over 3 years. While there, I built Internal Tools for Finance, Compliance, IT and Customer Operations. I also launched Squarespace Marketplace.
After graduating, I took a sabbatical to travel and do contract work. Clients included:
Dooly
Notes that talk to all your services (https://dooly.ai)
Readme

During my sabbatical I also worked on self-directed projects:

Web service to create ebooks from collections of webpages (https://epub.press)
The Recurse Center
A self-directed educational retreat for becoming a better programmer.
Learned Haskell, gave talks, blogged, improved open source libraries and collaborated with others (https://www.recurse.com/)
