Architected Spring's microservice backend with the goal of supplanting a legacy Ruby/Rails monolith - included redesigned RESTful APIs in NodeJS/Typescript, a GraphQL gateway for directing gRPC calls, and CouchDB for NoSQL storage
Led microservice rollout, speeding up department-wide adoption via the development and deployment of Springboard: a framework for rapidly launching new microservices, utilizing Jinja2 for template generation and Docker for containerization
Worked cross-functionally with Product, DevOps, Customer Service, and Fulfillment teams to ensure a stable migration of Spring's Order Routing and Inventory Management services to the microservice architecture via a Springboard-generated repository
Advised and mentored other Engineering pods within the organization on adoption of Springboard as well as best practices for transitioning their verticals off the monolith
Implemented an efficient zero-downtime bundling solution for Spring's storefront deployment on Netlify, strategically rolling out the change across hundreds of thousands of sites based on aggregated traffic and sales data, resulting in a reduction of build times from 1 week to 2 hours and $10,000+ of monthly savings in compute costs

Led the transition from Javascript to Typescript across the stack, establishing robust type definitions, including an overhaul to optimize and standardize React component development in Typescript
Served as a key stakeholder and contributor to the company's strategic expansion into ecommerce through a comprehensive integration with Shopify: entailing OAuth integration, Shopify webhook setup, Shopify page modification using their "Liquid" language, and the augmentation of Amaze Studio's content system
Orchestrated the technical vision, design, and full-stack development of Amaze Wizard: an innovative Typescript-based alternative frontend for Amaze Studio, working closely alongside Product and Design teams, to ingeniously reuse the existing JSON-based project framework for facilitating a more intuitive editing experience
Initiated and crafted a sophisticated, secure, admin-governed content tagging mechanism within Amaze Studio that identifies and segregates static and dynamic content, enabling Amaze Wizard to precisely tailor customizable fields through data-driven rendering
Further expanded my prefabrication paradigm to allow for efficient CRUD storage and management of user-uploaded photos and videos (leveraging Postgres and S3), coupled with a user-friendly interface, ensuring seamless asset accessibility and persistence across user accounts in both Studio and Wizard
