Meet the team

Our crew is what makes ShortStack awesome. We’re pros, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

Doug’s other half, Bunny, is our office manager and in charge of HR. She gives the ShortStack office the touch of fabulous most SaaS offices don’t have. With experience in various fields, from personal wardrobe stylist to teaching kindergarten, Bunny brings style, comfort, organization and warmth to the ShortStack office. Bunny helps us with everything from navigating our insurance coverage to bringing in blankets when the office is chilly. She’s our mom away from mom and an integral part of the ShortStack workplace culture.
