Logan McCaul

Current role

I manage front end engineers for Texans' favorite grocery store. I view engineering management as a combination of personal relationships, technical depth, and a strong understanding of product and design.

My approach to engineering management

I am currently accountable for the following experiences on heb.com, an ecommerce platform with over $1 billion in annual recurring revenue:

Information architecture and navigation.
Fulfillment, cart*, checkout*, and payments*.
Savings, coupons, and weekly ad.
In store pricing, shopping modes, and in store customer identification.
Product availability and customer choice substitutions.

* A H-E-B account is required to view these pages.

At the moment I have 7 direct reports. I have previously managed teams of up to 11 engineers.

Previous roles

Before switching to management, I was the lead web engineer on the Cart to Home team at H-E-B. As team lead, I planned and developed multiple projects including a React rebuild of our Cart, Precheckout, and Checkout pages, improvements to the screen reader experience on the Order Details page, and the creation of a core ItemRow component that reduced the number of bespoke item rows in our code base from 6 to 1.

Before H-E-B, I created a design system for IBM Cloud UI developers and designers called Cloud Pattern and Asset Library (PAL). Cloud PAL is a set of React components, utilities, API calls, and UX guidelines that standardized how UI microservices were built resulting in decreased development time and increased UI consistency across 100+ different microservices. You can still see Cloud PAL in action by registering for free on the IBM Cloud platform or take a look at this public RFC I created for the Carbon Design System that captures the technology and approach behind Cloud PAL.

At IBM, I also led UI strategy as the architect responsible for the Account, Billing, and Enterprise management front end microservices on IBM Cloud. These UIs enabled IBM Cloud's largest enterprise customers to keep track of their spending, manage services by projects, and govern how their teams use IBM Cloud.
