“Senior engineering manager who stays hands-on (~50/50) while leading teams through design reviews, code reviews, and production issue triage. Shipped scalable platform features (notifications, user action tracking via microservices) with strong quality/performance practices (TDD, high-load testing). Owned a complex cross-system SSO/IdP incident end-to-end, identifying a SameSite+iFrame root cause and delivering a configurable product fix plus support documentation.”
