Led org-wide initiatives, including mentioning across the Freehand experience and document thumbnail improvements. In addition, I mentored engineers on my team and filled in as Interim Engineering Manager for 2 months.

Led feature development on Freehand, our collaborative whiteboard product. Worked with my org (15+ engineers) to build core features for the whiteboard and create the add-ons library.

My team focused on improving engagement (time spent in Freehand documents) and re-engagement (getting users to return to their Freehand documents). We ran experiments around improving templates, commenting, and notifications.

Won two different hackathons for Object Snapping (elements snap to align with existing elements on canvas) and Sticky Comments/Reactions (comment/reaction markers "stick" to the elements behind them).

As an engineering manager, I supported my team through mentorship, advocacy, and close collaboration. I worked with product to prioritize impactful and challenging projects for the team. In addition, I initiated and organized the first company-wide hackathon to address tech debt (dubbed "Deletathon"). I continued to be a tech lead for several projects, particularly the Campaign Create revamp (which was an overhaul of the GoFundMe fundraiser creation flow).
