Experience
Principal Software Engineer I, Elastic

Production Engineer, Facebook
As a fullstack production engineer in the DC Systems team, I supported physical infrastructure projects. I built tools and services to help build, commission and operate Facebook datacenters. I worked in cross-functional partnership with teams of facilities and network engineers.
I worked on the frontend with React, GraphQL and Relay, and built Thrift services with Python and Node. I ran user research on site at DCs in EMEA and North America. I applied design thinking to the physical DC infrastructure space.
I founded and led a team of three engineers. I ran tech interviews, managed two summer interns, gave talks at internal summits and recruiting events. I maintained an open source library used by over 2 billion users.

Staff Software Engineer, IBM Connections
As tech lead of the Common UI team, I defined the frontend stack for the product. I applied design thinking to identify MVPs with PM and UXR. I ran PoCs and wrote prototypes with UXD. I advised integrations with IBM solutions and third party products.
I prototyped and kickstarted Connections Next and Project Toscana with RWD, introducing React with Webpack and a Node-based build. I drove a migration to Dojo AMD. I established a CI process to run frontend unit and functional tests in Jenkins.
I ran scrums, and acted as frontend architect. I mentored junior developers, ran tech interviews, and advised to hire new talent. I spoke at conferences and ran workshops.
