• Fall 2020

⎯ As co-lead frontend engineer for mission-critical project, led integration of Intuit’s TurboTax with Credit Karma Money to allow tax filers to access their refund funds 2 weeks earlier. 2 years of cross-functional collaboration, implemented features and conducted A/B tests, resulting in millions of new checking accounts and billions of $ in new deposits. The integration is a key growth driver for Credit Karma Money and was architected for easy future partnership integrations.

• 2021–2022: Growth Team Frontend Lead

⎯ As lead frontend engineer of the Growth team, owned key growth projects like A/B tests and partner integrations. Responsibilities include mentoring and onboarding new engineers, sprint planning, breaking down complex projects, organizing frontend eng meetups, and collaborating with stakeholders across organizations. Led part of planning for the 2023 growth roadmap, including one of the company's most important OKRs involving substantial research of browser capabilities to embed one application in another.

⎯ Led the migration of Credit Karma Money to a new design system, built with an internal React component library that I was a key contributor and code owner of. Managing two contract engineers and collaborating with Quality Engineering, migrated pages and components to new APIs while developing an automated visual regression system to mitigate production risk. Another key factor in Money becoming an internal leader of technology, bringing critical mass and leader attention and driving mass adoption.

• Infra

⎯ Led frontend infrastructure projects, including migrating Money’s frontend build pipeline to Webpack 5 with React Fast Refresh, resulting in a 10x increase in local development speeds, decreased production JavaScript bundle sizes, and paved the way for Module Federation. After piloting in production, migrated company's internal build pipeline tooling, enabling frontend and developer efficiency improvements company-wide.

• Joined the initial team responsible for building Credit Karma Money

⎯ 3rd full-time frontend engineer to build Credit Karma Money’s savings account product’s client app that launched in mid 2019.

⎯ After launch, became project co-lead frontend engineer to build the checking account product’s client app.

⎯ Not only were these 2 of the most anticipated launches in company history, within 2-years of initial launch the checking product established Credit Karma as the #2 largest neo-bank in the U.S. This success was one of the key drivers of Intuit’s acquisition of Credit Karma.

⎯ Additionally, this team internally became one of the company’s leaders in driving new frontend technology, paving the way for other verticals to adopt into their frontend applications.
