Keith McGowan
BigCommerce Technical Lead
Keith took an unconventional path into eCommerce, which may be part of what makes him so good at it. After spending 17 years in the restaurant industry, he made a career switch during COVID, completed a six-month web development bootcamp, and landed at an eCommerce agency that gave him his start in the space. He has been solving problems and building ever since. Keith loves that development feels like getting paid to work through puzzles all day, and he brings a strong combination of technical depth and people skills to the table. He is especially good in client-facing settings, where he can translate technical complexity clearly and confidently.
