I took the initiative to assemble a team of engineers tasked with working on issues that affect the overall web product of Strava, independently of specific feature development. As a manager of a team of 4, I oversee the engineers in charge of the quality assurance process, security incident response, frontend engineering and developer productivity.
As a contributor, I am leading the following initiatives:
• Making Strava a safer and faster product by driving the transition to full SSL (Content Security Policy, HSTS, …) and ultimately HTTP/2.
• Transition our mobile apps and infrastructure to implement a faster, more scalable way to develop and launch push notifications (tickle-based approach)
• Introduce a lightweight design review process for communicating engineering changes across the organization in an open and constructive way.
