Created and gained consensus from senior engineers on detailed Technical Design Document (TDD) that included Datomic and GraphQL schema changes and audit of React and TypeScript components. TDD resulted in 200+ engineering stories with thorough acceptance criteria, ensuring engineers had complete understanding of tasks.

Created Holistic Planning Guide that was instrumental collaboration tool for determining full scope of work, resulting in less project scope creep. Guide was adopted throughout organization.

Leveraged reporting to provide accurate forecasts on burndown rate and completion date of each release phase. Resulted in general availability (GA) release that was on-time, low-risk, and contained feature set on which product, design, and engineering were all aligned.

Trained and mentored engineers on Tech Lead tactics and best practices through presentations and 1x1 coaching sessions, resulting in upskilling across engineering team.

Originally hired as Senior Frontend Engineer, but learned Clojure, Datomic, and GraphQL in order to better support full stack engineering needs. Resulted in becoming unique resource at organization who could write, read, and review code across entire technical stack. Wrote blog post on experience learning new technology.

Wrote new GraphQL interfaces, resulting in improved page speed. Extended functionality for legacy REST API.

Regularly leveraged feature flags in development process, which resulted in fostering culture of experimentation and reducing deployment risks and rollbacks. Created guide on feature flag best practices.

Led migration of AWS cloud infrastructure: Directed transition from using resources that were provisioned manually in AWS console to resources that were reliably provisioned through an infrastructure-as-code pipeline using AWS CloudFormation and CodePipeline. Personally “flipped the switch” and handled multiple production traffic cutovers successfully with maintenance windows of 60 minutes or fewer. Performed migration at high caliber that resulted in temporary assignment to another team to facilitate their migration.

Improved Elasticsearch/OpenSearch data recovery time and reliability: Set up process to automate search data snapshots and provision new infrastructure. Reduced recovery time from multiple days to 60 minutes or fewer.

Created robust technical documentation: Authored detailed runbooks for triaging common support issues, architectural diagrams, root cause analyses (RCAs), and architecture decision records (ADRs).

Ensured application uptime through Go synthetic testing suite: Key member of focus group that determined architecture and test workflows. Primary contributor and reviewer on related backend Go codebase. Replaced costly pre-existing test suite, reducing costs by 90%.

Invested in mentorship of early-career technologists: Set up engineers for success through onboarding checklists, pair programming, and training sessions.

Built REST API endpoints that allowed users to request data as geoJSON and return geometric coordinates.

Created new Microsoft SQL (MS SQL) views and stored procedures for data migrations.

Extended legacy ColdFusion API by building presentation layer that converted data structures to JSON responses.
