*   While on loan to the Indeed Hiring Platform team, I orchestrated the splitting of their existing monolithic webapp into 2 frontends and 2 backends, reducing the queue of merge requests and speeding up deployment by allowing each app to be deployed independently.
*   Helped Indeed Hiring Platform create a shared component library utilizing Webpack Module Federation. This removed over 2.5k lines of duplicated code between their apps and ensured that each app was always utilizing the most recent version of their components without needing to redeploy.
*   Implemented Mixpanel event tracking in our applications and built dashboards around the events so we could make more informed product decisions.
