About
Joined Arsenal into a leadership vacuum (manager fired, only engineer left) and still launched a screening project in 4 weeks while defining team direction. Built an 11-person automation org spanning assay development, engineering, and operations, implementing OKRs/retrospectives/dashboards and navigating major pivots (including a partner pullout) while maintaining delivery and retention.
