• Developed a process for evaluating the functionality of prompts to large language models using Kotlin, Mustache, Gentrace, and Python that is currently in use by 2 teams

• Conducted a vendor procurement process for Gentrace which involved discussion with 8 stakeholders from Finance, Legal, Data, IT and others, as well as interviews with 5 teams using generative AI; this process has lead to cost savings of $35k

• Extracted translations infrastructure at Faire from the monolith to the translator service as part of Faire’s transition to a service oriented architecture; coordinating across 4 teams and liaising with 5 key stakeholders

• Initiated and advocated for translations extraction, addressing the need for translations in our multiservices architecture and driving gains in scalability, isolation, and developer velocity

• Designed a system for replicating translations and submitting source content, initially impacting 6 services with potential for broader integration as more services use translations

• Constructed a robust infrastructure for translations capable of handling approximately 7 requests per second, successfully managing millions of translation requests over recent months
