Shipping high-impact improvements to Seesaw's infrastructure, tooling, frameworks, and processes. I also spend a lot of time as a technical advisor for projects across the org.

Some recent IC projects:

• Regionalized our serverless infrastructure to launch Seesaw UK & AU, improving end-user performance with a 75% reduction in time-to-first-byte for UK & AU users.

• Led a Frontend Modernization effort to get us to the next stage of our 5+ year journey migrating from AngularJS to React.

• Shipped client performance observability tooling & processes.

• Kickstarted a new Client Platform team to own Seesaw's 3 frontend platforms (iOS, Android, web).

Shipped a new messaging product supporting 3M MAU sending 10M+ monthly messages, replacing the legacy product. New messaging increased engagement from monthly active teachers, up to 40% from 25%.

• Technical lead for a team of 7 engineers rebuilding a core product surface area on new backend and frontend stacks.

• Designed and implemented a new IAC serverless backend stack leveraging AWS Lambda, DynamoDB streams, and a graph data model exposed via GraphQL, including serverless GraphQL subscriptions over websockets.

• Migrated 7 years worth of existing messaging data into the new, much more flexible data model.

Tech lead for various full-stack projects:

• Created a new React frontend stack and in-place migration from a legacy AngularJS app

In my first 6 months, I contributed tons of full-stack and frontend feature work for Seesaw's new Activity Library, including search, sharing, and mobile responsiveness, while introducing best practices for accessible & responsive styling.
