2023 — Now
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
• Improved release predictability from 70%→95% by redesigning SDLC workflows, introducing QA gating, and aligning engineering + product across three delivery streams.
• Increased product quality from 72%→98% bug-free by implementing structured QA processes, cross-team integration testing, and release validation checkpoints.
• Stabilized engineering velocity (<5% deviation) by introducing capacity planning, predictable iteration rhythms, and dependency mapping across backend, frontend, mobile, QA, and data teams.
• Led 3 cross-functional engineering teams (40+ engineers), improving execution consistency, collaboration throughput, and roadmap delivery accuracy.
• Restored predictable delivery within 3 months after a full vendor transition by establishing operational rhythm, clarifying ownership boundaries, and rebuilding cross-team interfaces.
• Partnered with engineering leadership to build KPI dashboards for velocity, quality, release performance, and engineering throughput, improving visibility and decision-making speed.
• Drove organizational process improvements by aligning engineering, QA, and product on delivery rituals, reducing operational chaos and improving team satisfaction from 6.3→8.7.
