Built an end-to-end media delivery telemetry system for iOS Messenger, designing a unified performance logging framework that tracks image, sticker, audio, and forwarded media across both standard and end-to-end encrypted conversations — enabling real-time reliability measurement for billions of daily messages.
Drove cross-platform iOS/Android instrumentation parity, standardizing telemetry schemas and structured annotations across 3 mobile apps to power a unified reliability dashboard.
Extended an internal observability framework to support per-attachment tracing in multi-media sends, enabling granular failure attribution at scale.
Resolved a high-impact connectivity UX bug where status banners failed to display during intermittent network conditions, and rolled the fix out across iOS and Android via feature flags and A/B testing.
Developed an AI-powered config audit tool (Python CLI + LLM skill) that automatically scans feature flag coverage across 5 platform variants, identifying rollout gaps and reducing manual audit effort.
