Hi, I’m Adam Darowski.

I’m a product leader, designer, and developer with over twenty years of experience with tech companies of all types—from tiny startups to billion dollar unicorns. I’m the Executive Director of Design & Product Management for Sports Reference, LLC (I purposely avoided the word “currently” because I want to be here forever). We make Baseball Reference, Basketball Reference, Pro Football Reference, Hockey Reference, FBref, College Basketball Reference, College Football Reference, Stathead, Immaculate Grid, and Immaculate Footy. Previously, I was part of the product teams at ezCater, Dribbble, HubSpot, and PatientsLikeMe.

At Sports Reference, I get to combine my passion for building incredibly lovable and aggressively functional products with my love of sports (particularly baseball and soccer). In my free time, I’m a baseball researcher, SABR member, and Borussia Dortmund supporter.
