I identify deep-rooted, systemic issues within the stack and lead long-term initiatives to address them using a Legacy Code Investigation system I developed and ran a workshop for with my team.

I proactively identify issues and propose solutions with corresponding context/data, boosting project launch success by 120%

I make pragmatic design decisions; identifying risks, trade-offs, and alternative solutions to be considered with the Risky Changes Assessment I developed, ensuring that current and future engineers understanding our decisions through clear documentation.

I thoughtfully decompose functional and technical requirements into clean architectures and designs to support our ambitious product roadmap while maintaining clarity and understanding with non-technical stakeholders.

I introduce improvements that help the entire company become more productive and ship higher quality work with regular tutorials on how I organize my workspace and how best to use our tools (ex. Notion, DataDog).

I shape coding methodologies and best practices, documenting them and sharing with the team.

I've built our mentorship program from the ground up, building out templates and workshopping with our team mentors for continuous improvement of our processes.
