Mar 2023 – Present · 3 yrs · Seattle, Washington, United States

As a passionate technology leader, I am driving innovation and modernization at Docusign by spearheading the evolution of our client-side web stack. Leveraging React, Next.js, our Ink component library, and our 1FE micro-front end UX architecture. I help build seamless, high-performance experiences across web, iOS, Android, and mobile web platforms. I am also leading the innovation and inclusion of "human-in-the-loop"-centric AI user experience capabilities and platform.
On the backend, I empower highly scalable, core capabilities in PDF and document management, web forms, licensing, and admin services, utilizing both C#-driven solutions and serverless architectures to ensure scalability and efficiency.
Collaborating closely with product and design teams, I work to reimagine user experiences by leading our initiatives in product-led growth capabilities, integrating AI, and simplifying UX workflows. I’m committed to enhancing both customer and administrative experiences, while optimizing support tooling for a streamlined, impactful user journey.
