• Shared Package Development: Designed and launched reusable packages, including a CMS-backed footer component built with React, TypeScript, and Tailwind. Reduced duplicated efforts across 10+ teams, streamlined legal compliance updates, and saved hundreds of person-hours per year. Delivered the first shared package adopted across client engineering organizations, fostering cross-org collaboration. Onboarded junior engineers to increase team velocity and deliver new features to customer teams.
• SEO Infrastructure Optimization: Modernized the legacy Node.js + TypeScript codebase powering the Disney+ sitemap, introducing critical enhancements for content availability and maintainability. Closed documentation gaps and mentored a new engineer, increasing team capacity to deliver impactful SEO-driven results.
• Leading Tailwind CSS Framework Adoption: Spearheaded the transition to a unified styling framework for an engineering organization of 100+ developers. Evaluated CSS framework options, authored widely-praised RFCs, and successfully drove Tailwind CSS adoption. Created an integration guide and supported teams in implementation, enhancing React component development efficiency and boosting developer productivity.
• Driving Observability and Performance Enhancements: Improved observability for Disney+ and Hulu non-subscriber pages by integrating Datadog tagging and robust logging strategies. Enhanced the Next.js platform powering these pages by implementing Redis caching for upstream calls, achieving a 75% reduction in latency, delivering a significantly improved user experience.
• Recognition for Technical Excellence: Received the Consistently Awesome Teammate (CAT) Award for Technical Achievement in 2024 for contributions in building a Next.js Platform to power Non Subscriber pages across Disney+ and Hulu. Key achievements included architecting a framework for rendering CMS-driven pages, creating shared packages, and evangelizing observability best practices.

• Developed, tested, and deployed full stack features in React and TypeScript in close partnership with product managers and designers
• Ported frontend components and data fetching logic from Angular into React, reducing load times and modernizing our technology stack
• Devised and implemented end to end frontend tests using Cypress, reducing accidental deployment of bugs into production
• Proposed and implemented an analytics tracking initiative using Mixpanel, providing non-technical stakeholders access to data around user journey
• Triaged and resolved production issues during on call rotation, maintaining a resolution time of under 24 hours

• Architected an API for a feature-toggling system that allows engineers to control exposure of features to users. Improved upon the previous system by moving from binary toggles to criterion-based toggles, allowing for reuse of criterion across different toggles and granular feature rollout.
• Reduced validation time for API Gateway configuration changes from 1 hour of manual validation to under 30 seconds and prevented production
bugs by creating a Docker image that ran in TeamCity when a new configuration was pushed to GitHub, automating validation of configuration.
• Implemented monitoring and alerting improvements to streamline diagnosis of degraded performance and microservice crashes.
