Whether itâs providing business impact by delivering new features, or by paying down technical debt or helping improve processes so that the business and product will have more long term sustainability.
Beyond authoring code that is readable and maintainable, I have experience providing technical leadership on a diverse set of projects and can also contribute to product scoping and decisions, and a robust, sustainable, and pragmatic technical design.
I can help your business make more informed decisions by advocating for a more research-based, data-driven and outcome-driven culture in the team. Itâs important to do prior user research to understand the problems that users are facing and come up with the relevant solution, but itâs also equally as important to be able to quantitatively measure the ROI and if the solution actually succeeded or not and solved the initial user problem. Being able to measure whatâs successful or not will provide clarity and give your business more insight on which areas of the product and tech that should be invested in.
During my tenure at Genesis Energy, I worked on their flagship Energy IQ application which provided self service capabilities for their customers.
Most notably, I was instrumental to Energy IQ's modern cloud and Infrastructure-as-Code migration, helping them escape "researching themselves into paralysis". I contributed to the technical design, scoped out the work required for the migration, and successfully setup and implemented a functional MVP of the migration--putting the team in a strong position to deliver after I had left.
I was also intrumental in improving the development teams writing culture by introducing the request for comments (RFC) document for communicating substantial changes and the postmortem document for facilitating meaningful post-incident retrospectives.
My role consisted mostly of individual contributor tasks such as feature development and paying down technical debt, as well as supporting and mentoring more junior engineers.
My most notable work includes streamlining the CGA tech teams kanban process to ensure better collaboration between product and engineering, and feature leading a complex data integration project that required re-designing, implementing and migrating to a new database schema model.
Sometimes I like to write about and share my learnings and opinions with the world :)
