About
Engineering manager with recent hands-on technical leadership in vendor-based geo augmentation, including making a key pivot from a broken vendor SDK to an internal data ingestion approach. Previously shipped impactful Python microservice refactors that reduced unnecessary data processing/storage and improved runtime payload efficiency, and has owned on-call incidents through mitigation (scaling pods) and prevention process changes.

Key Strengths
- Leads technical decision-making under vendor/SDK uncertainty (pivoted to internal ingestion)
- Strong code review and bug-finding; unblocks engineers with targeted commits/mentorship
- Improved service efficiency via Python microservice refactor to reduce unnecessary data storage/payload size
- End-to-end incident handling (diagnosis, coordination, mitigation via scaling, and prevention workflow)
- Effective coaching to improve engineer throughput (smaller PRs led to higher velocity)
- Increased delivery speed by reducing context switching through consolidated team ceremonies
