Engineering Manager
EXPLORE AND DEVELOP
Experiment With Tech for Big Results
Josh Keegan Gross’ tech stack includes Ruby on Rails on the backend and Ember.js on the frontend. “Both are opinionated frameworks which take time to learn but allow engineers to complete feature work faster and with more code integrity,” he said. The team has been working on a new project to SimplePractice — a searchable platform of clinicians called the Monarch Directory. “This is a big new direction for us and the impact is huge,” said Keegan Gross. “Allowing people to more easily find and connect with a therapist adds a lot of value to our clinicians, company and the public at large.”
