Here's What the POWr Rangers are Thankful for in 2018!


Published: | Updated: | By Melissa Berry

With only a little over three years under our belt, POWr has come a long way and has a lot to be thankful for, but most of all, we’re thankful for having POWr users like you! The POWr Rangers have worked on a boatload of exciting projects this year and couldn’t wait to share a few. Here are some of the projects that they are most thankful to have contributed to.

Brandon Ancier, Growth Consultant

"I'm most thankful to have worked on helping POWr build meaningful partnerships that will aid us in our goal of helping small businesses achieve success online."


Brent Gummow, Product Engineer

“I'm super thankful to have the opportunity to get paid to make tools that small businesses can use to grow online! I am very thankful to have worked on a massive overhaul of the publishing process. We added auto-saving and an improved experience when you press the "Add to Site" and "Publish" button. I think the changes made POWr plugins easier for everyone to use and made it that much simpler to get your plugin onto your website and in front of your site visitors.”


Chelsea Davis, UX Designer

“I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to interview our users this year. It has helped me get to know our customers better, understand their pain points and improve our product to better meet their needs!”


Devis Mejia, Customer Support and Engineer

“This year I’m thankful to have grown into a role I’ve been working towards for quite some time now, an engineer at POWr! I’ve worked on various projects that have each taught me valuable lessons. I’m also very thankful for the people that have taught and mentored me throughout my journey. They are the real MVPs!”


Ivan Kho, Product Analyst

“With over 50 plugins on POWr, it can be hard figuring out the next plugin you didn’t know you needed. That is why I’m thankful to have worked on figuring out a new recommendation system for our users backed by data. It makes it easier for a user to discover a more relevant plugin.”


Juwan Bepo, Customer Support

"I’m thankful to have worked on creating pretty defaults for POWr apps and running A/B tests with them! It’s cool to use data to find out what visual designs appeal to users the most and why.”


Kelsey Raczak, UX Designer and Engineer

“I’m thankful to have worked on improving the installation experience of our plugins. We understand that getting the tools you need on your website can be challenging and sometimes even frustrating if you’re not a developer. With that knowledge, we were able to take a step forward this year in making that process a little easier for our users.”


Pilar Sterne, Product Manager

“There were so many fun projects this year! Being able to help our users grow their business while making POWr's product more user-friendly and successful is something I'm very grateful for. Working on the revamp of our user on-boarding flow with our very talented UX team was one of the highlights for me!”


Praneeta Mhatre, Senior Software Engineer

“What I’m thankful for is being lucky enough to be able to architect the “configurable settings” project (AKA reactify the world). It gave a lot of exposure to react and I learned a lot of new things.”


Puru Dahal, Senior Software Engineer

“I am thankful to have worked on different projects including but not limited to server stability, scalability and automation features at POWr and I’m very much thankful to all my POWrful team for their cooperation and collaboration.”


Rafael Espiritu, Customer Support

“The Project I am so thankful to have worked on this year is having participated with the on-boarding process of our newest POWr Rangers! I am grateful to have been given the chance to be a part of it!”


Sergey Tyan, Fullstack Software Engineer

“My favorite and most impactful project this year was improving the deployment speed. I have optimized some parts of our deployment process and this reduced the deployment time from 18 minutes to 10 minutes on average. This affects every engineer in a positive way since we don’t have to wait so much time after we push new changes to our codebase.”


Teddy Fischer, Associate Product Manager

“I joined POWr at the end of August this year, so my year at POWr is shorter than most of my colleagues! This year I’m thankful for having been able to facilitate a company-wide innovation session. Each POWr Ranger brings a brilliant and distinct perspective to the table. It was a fantastic experience, and we’re now able to put in the hard work now to make these ideas come to life!”


Tyrone Chouhan, Customer Success Engineer

“I’m thankful to have been able to bring on two new Rangers to the POWr support team. Hiring can always be tricky, so I’m glad that we have two awesome new agents ready to help POWr users be as successful as possible!”


Zac Wickstrom, Software Engineer

“I'm thankful to have worked on POWr Mail in 2018. I had the privilege of building it from scratch and it's now the most-used feature on all of POWr.io. We're expanding it to other apps and exploring the possibilities of what POWr Mail can become in 2019 - tons to look forward to!”


Thanks to all the new and veteran POWr users who have made it possible for us to continue helping you make awesome websites for your businesses! Happy holidays, you guys! Lots more to come for 2019!
