• I'm primarily working on a large, front-end-heavy application that empowers community managers to provide better hospitality to WeWork members — including but not limited to billing, inventory, event planning, office move-in-move-outs, and room bookings.
• The app is a 220K+ LOC of JavaScript (React, Redux, thunks, Flow, Webpack, Babel and all that jazz) and is backed by a myriad of microservices.
• With 5+ teams and 50+ developers contributing to the same codebase, my goal is to be able to scale both the internal development process and the external user experience, focusing on:
• Can we provide better tooling for adding user-facing features quickly and safely?
• Can we maintain code quality with 50+ deploys per day?
• Can we catch and prevent errors before they make it to production?
• Can we seamlessly roll out large infrastructure changes that affect hundreds of files, developer experience, onboarding, and more?
• Can we create a collaborative culture of learning, inclusion, blameless post mortems; where we balance healthy, continuous tech-debt management with quick deliveries?
• Outside of my team, I'm often involved in:
• Recruiting (70+ people so far) and helping improve the mission-wide interview process
• Sharing our work with the public (https://engineering.wework.com)
• Mentoring and onboarding junior engineers
• Presenting and participating in an internal front-end guild/meetups
• Helping other teams improve both technical and operational processes
