• As an early member of LinkedIn’s Sales Navigator product team, I played a pivotal role in transforming the product from its nascent stages into a mature, enterprise-grade platform that drove a tenfold increase in revenue. I led and scaled two critical platform areas, combining technical expertise with leadership to deliver features that enabled significant customer impact and business growth:

The platform processes over 10 billion records daily through 50+ Spark jobs to generate actionable business metrics.
• Served as the organization-wide lead reviewer for data models, establishing best practices and training team leads on ensuring adherence to LinkedIn’s conventions, patterns, and best practices for APIs and data models.
