Software Engineering Manager

In my role as an Engineering Manager, I successfully led two high-performing software engineering teams, namely Seat Map and Create Reservation, concurrently managing a total of 17 direct reports. Through a focus on mentorship and individualized coaching, I've facilitated the professional growth of team members, actively promoting their achievements to department leadership and contributing to their advancement within the organization. Notably, I orchestrated the expansion of the Create Reservation Team from 4 to 12 engineers within a span of just three months, splitting them into two more focused teams, demonstrating my ability to scale and optimize team structures. Additionally, I championed and organized the first Alaska E-commerce Hackathon in over three years, attracting over 50 participants and fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration within the organization.

Senior Software Engineer

As a Senior Software Engineer, I played a pivotal role in enhancing system architecture by reconfiguring various features from a monolithic structure into maintainable microservices. A key aspect of my role involved fostering effective communication with non-technical stakeholders, updating them on project progress, addressing inquiries, and cultivating collaborative relationships. Notably, I spearheaded the initiative to replace an aging authentication system, leveraging examples and customer feedback to convince teammates, stakeholders, and company executives of the necessity for modernization. This advocacy resulted in the establishment of a dedicated team for authentication replacement and the procurement of an Okta license. In addition to my technical contributions, I undertook diverse responsibilities such as screening resumes, collaborating with recruiters for contractor hires, conducting interviews, sporadically serving as a scrum master, and presenting at lunch and learn sessions.

Software Engineer P2

In my role as a Software Engineer, I demonstrated a knack for problem-solving and adaptability by stabilizing a legacy wallet system amidst an unprecedented surge in usage during March 2020. My contributions extended beyond maintenance, as I strategically generated over $70 million in revenue by devising a method for creating and selling gift cards at Costco. Additionally, I led the design and implementation of an in-house responsive and accessible CCPA/GDPR-compliant preference system, covering both front-end and back-end aspects. This innovative system not only ensured regulatory compliance but also resulted in substantial cost savings for the company, exceeding $100,000 annually.

Software Engineer

As a Software Engineer, I played a pivotal role within a dynamic and diverse team focused on a rapidly evolving product. I actively contributed to and took ownership of core features within our application, such as constructing a new table in an Excel-like application, implementing an efficient bulk action feature on both the server and client sides, and executing the conversion of substantial front-end components from JavaScript to TypeScript. Engaging in Agile methodologies, I actively participated in daily standup meetings, sprint planning sessions, and story estimating, ensuring seamless collaboration and effective development processes within the team.
