• Lead a team of 3 engineering managers and 30+ engineers within the Application Platform organization, responsible for federated data platform, personalization and tracking frameworks, and traffic infrastructure. The team manages a majority of Tier 0 infrastructure and services at CK, and I have driven platform evolution in my space to improve reliability, scalability, and developer velocity. I continually partnered with our CTO and Eng leadership to define platform and organizational strategy and deliver cross-cutting initiatives serving hundreds of internal developers.
• Saved millions in annual GCP/Infra costs through application and infrastructure optimizations across legacy and multitenant systems (Kafka, GCS, K8s, legacy services and codebases).
• Developed and invested in the strategy for zero-touch and zero-impact wholesale mesh migration for k8s clusters.
• Built 3-in-1 year visions/roadmaps with the teams across personalization frameworks, data strategy and
• foundations, and cluster automation, providing tradeoffs and direction around product, reliability, and cost wins.
• Drove 4 verticalized platform solutions for federated data architecture (on data pipeline materialization, reliable publishing, fetching, and storing data) that contributed to 5 different product accelerations in the last year.
• Drove platform-wide programs around operational resilience from Jun 2024 - Dec 2024, improving MTTR, MTTD, and site incident prevention, which led to zero critical incidents on App Platform since June 2024.
• Revamped the promotion process for Credit Karma to evolve with changing expectations around roles and specializations; partnered with the CTO staff and HR to roll this out broadly across the company in the last 2 years.
• Created direction on shifts from RTB to Innovation through AI and automation which resulted in system/maintenance upgrades improvements and longer-term polyglot support across data, infrastructure, and libraries.
