Lead a group of 5 engineers and serve as technical consultant to a 4-engineer sister team, guiding design reviews, architecture decisions, and technical coaching across both teams.

Lead AI adoption for the group by championing AI-assisted development centered on Claude Code, supplemented by OpenCode, establishing guidelines for responsible use, and building shareable Claude Code plugins (LSP integrations, Kafka skills) used by engineers across teams.

Authored the company's internal Claude Code setup and best-practices guide, one of the highest-viewed documentation pages company-wide with 300+ views across a 250-person engineering organization.

Built an AI-powered support bot that connects to application databases to diagnose production issues, resolving 12 incidents in its first months and reducing on-call burden.

Author design documents and engineering standards that align teams on best practices, partner with cross-functional teams on architecture and roadmaps, and champion engineering culture through a recurring lunch-and-learn program.

Led technical architecture and delivery for two engineering teams following a senior engineer's departure, driving design decisions and ensuring on-time completion across multiple concurrent initiatives, a scope that led to promotion to Staff Engineer.

Architected a SKU service integration that improved meal-planning accuracy by enabling real-time ingredient availability and cooking-requirement tracking.

Optimized and maintained a suite of Kotlin-based microservices streamlining ready-to-eat product manufacturing and planning.

Revitalized a stagnant lunch-and-learn series into a regular forum on architecture and best practices, improving cross-team collaboration.

Led design and deployment of advanced code-search capabilities, enabling security teams and auditors to perform in-depth analysis across Git codebases.

Directed a team of 3 engineers building a remote code-execution service that ran arbitrary user code in secure, isolated environments using Kubernetes and Firecracker.

Shipped long-requested features in the Batch Changes product using Go and React.

Drove creation of a proxy sidecar service written in Go that gave enterprise services standardized logging, advanced security controls, and seamless service discovery.

Led a team of 3 engineers building an InnerSource platform that enabled enterprise-wide code sharing, gave management risk-assessment tooling, and gave leadership adoption metrics.

Built GitHub Actions in JavaScript to onboard and migrate enterprise teams to GitHub.

Developed a suite of InnerSource libraries for standardized logging, automated deployments, and service discovery across .NET, Java, and Python applications.

Designed and implemented 30+ microservices for non-marketing communications, processing millions of records daily.

Led migration from mainframe processes to a modern cloud-based Java platform.

Automated the deployment ticketing process with Python, sharply reducing manual effort per release.

Supported legacy Java Spring applications for non-marketing communications processing, raising test coverage and improving documentation to boost reliability.

Led the team as an early adopter deploying applications to Pivotal Cloud Foundry.

Steered the team's migration from Team Foundation Server to the Atlassian suite in support of Agile practices.

Improved performance of satellite-management applications through algorithm optimization and added new capabilities to the thick client.

Built a lightweight web-application alternative for users on constrained hardware, providing an efficient replacement for the thick client.

Led the team's shift from Ant to Python-based builds, significantly reducing build times.

Developed enhancements for a space-debris monitoring web application using HTML, JavaScript, and jQuery, significantly improving user experience.

Led improvements to web and thick-client Strategy and Assessment applications trusted by the U.S. Air Force and Royal Canadian Air Force.
