Strengthening digital trust by rewarding truth-finding and fostering bottom-up content curation.

• Managed two teams with 12 direct reports total, with a focus on reducing wasted effort and continuously delivering value while executing on a larger product vision

• Shifted development to a spec-first mentality. Created a repository to manage OpenAPI specs and facilitate review. Added an internal documentation website (Swagger UI) to facilitate review, as well as a versioned NPM package with SDK’s, validators, and types

• Extended routing capabilities to include 3rd party partners, ultimately achieving over 1 million 3rd party fulfillments while still maintaining a consistent API and patient experience

• Consolidated internal service-to-service authentication strategy, moving to signed JWT’s and internal service identifiers

• Built local k8s development environment, enabling complex cross-service testing without the need of cloud resources. Further, ensured management and implementation of this environment was as prod-like as possible

• Created IaC platform empowering IC’s to self-serve infrastructure requests, while still maintaining centralized change control. Wrote case studies and gave internal workshops on best practices, e.g. service-to-service communication, secret management

• Introduced application performance monitoring, including across microservices. Shipped proof-of-concept to production using simple open source tools. Created dashboards to gauge product success and find opportunities for improvement

• Created and ran monthly Engineering technical talks - “Too Technical Tuesday” - with rotating speakers

• Created new services powering at-home Diagnostic testing, including lab specific adapters, a normalized domain, and a resource oriented API.

• Grew Diagnostics engineering and product team from 0 to 10. Ran workshops and knowledge shares to efficiently onboard new engineers.

• Launched multiple Diagnostic programs representing significant ARR - on track to 10x that early 2022.

• Provided north star vision for microservices using Domain Driven Design and formalizing communication through service interfaces, with aggregation in its own layer.

• Consolidated disparate API’s into one unified surface and created a strategy for ongoing abstraction improvements.

• Redirected API efforts towards better abstractions, less ambiguous resources, and products rather than one-offs.

• Created and maintained systems to enable platformization of LiveRamp’s “Data Marketplace” product.

• Built and open sourced TypeScript packages balancing performance and conciseness against team’s experience level (https://github.com/liveramp/typed-mutations, https://github.com/liveramp/higher-order-promise)

• Defined architectural patterns and best practices to ensure robust, typed code and clear business logic.

• Realized various performance increases via database optimizations and paradigm shifts, resulting in 50x speedups on critical user paths.

• Lead quality and reliability initiatives to enable proactive resolution of escaped issues.

• Mentored team members in various programming paradigms and practices.

• Developed gateways to 3rd party services powering many features of Credit Karma's product, both user facing and from a data perspective.

• Mentored engineers in adoption of functional programming techniques, and made sure patterns employed were understood by everyone responsible for the code.

• Advocated and implemented best programming practices regarding data handling and resilience, such that our business logic was both readable and statically verifiable.

• Created and maintained a stable test environment, training members of the team on how to use it to ensure their newest features integrated well together. This environment was largely self-service allowing members to spin up staging servers on demand.

• Implemented and launched the back end for the Savings product, which included keeping 20+ people aligned and synchronized.
