Key Strengths

  • Led monolith-to-microservices transformation for TiVo IPTV client-facing APIs
  • Designed AWS-based architecture using API Gateway, Lambda, and managed Kubernetes (EKS)
  • Executed phased/blue-green production rollouts routing millions of calls to reduce regression risk
  • Built streaming ingestion pipeline for external TV guide metadata using managed Kafka into DynamoDB/RDS

  • Formed and enabled full-stack cross-functional teams (server, client, DevOps, QA) with training and mentorship
  • Established KPI-driven measurement of productivity and quality (dev/deploy time, quality and production metrics)
  • Strong executive/stakeholder communication and budget management alongside hands-on technical leadership
  • Led architectural selection of modern UI framework (chose VueJS over ReactJS based on microservices-driven UI update needs)
  • Implemented automated end-to-end testing infrastructure to catch regressions early
  • Introduced API versioning to maintain backward compatibility amid breaking changes
  • Resolved cross-team Agile planning conflicts by aligning two teams with input from Product Marketing and Customer Success
