About

Hands-on engineering manager on a large web product who built an AI-driven navigation search and led a major post-acquisition unification effort across 3 companies and 5–7 teams, including front-end architecture for 60+ developers. Also owns a high-scale BFF (800 endpoints) and drove a deep reliability fix involving Kubernetes/Envoy/Redis session bloat, adding monitoring and preventative controls.

Key Strengths

  • Player-coach engineering manager (25–50% hands-on) staying deep via design reviews, PR reviews, POCs, and incident work
  • Shipped an AI-based navigation search feature end-to-end (designed and implemented v1, then transitioned to team for production hardening)
  • Strong LLM implementation rigor: prompt design, model selection across 7–10 models, and analytics to validate response quality
  • Led large-scale post-acquisition product/tech unification across 5–7 teams and 3 companies; delivered roadmaps and merged 3 products into 1
  • Owned and resolved complex latency incident in a large BFF (800 endpoints): identified 10MB session object causing Redis/network congestion; added monitoring and guardrails
  • People leadership with measurable outcomes: increased team velocity, took on more complex projects, managed underperformance, and promoted a Senior engineer to Staff
  • Improved delivery speed and quality by shifting ceremonies to async workflows, inner sourcing dependencies, running testing parties, and instituting weekly Opex metric reviews
