• The PLG Signup Experience front-end team which I led in the Product led growth org focused on a/b testing new features and making platform-specific improvements for the front-end stack of DocuSign's signup flow which included Plans & Pricing, Payment Checkout, and Free Trial areas. My team worked through several large feature and platform migrations - GraphQL to Rest being the largest one.
• Over the course of 6 months,
• I worked with existing team to identify team scope and come up with a team charter.
• The team and I worked together to identify the skillsets we needed and I helped grow the team from 4 to 8 engineers with an additional focus on increasing diversity.
• I participated in design and architecture discussions and helped improve collaboration between front-end and back-end teams by providing candid feedback when large technical decisions (ex: migration from GraphQL to Rest) were being made in silos.
• I spent time with the team to come up with a roadmap for our sub team initiatives and shared this with our product stakeholders which not only helped improve prioritization but also bring more visibility into what the engineering team was working on.
• I worked with the team to think through the improvements we wanted to make to our interview process and gave feedback to senior leadership to help reduce bias during hiring.
• I helped model the team culture by routinely emphasizing kindness, empathy, open feedback loop, transparency & collaboration as our core values. I also setup fun quarterly team activities to improve team cohesion and camaraderie.
• I started growth conversations for each engineer within the team which gave each of them clarity on their professional and personal goals and how they could effectively grow their careers at DocuSign.

• Server-driven UI adoption for web signup flow
• One of our platform objectives was to improve the speed and efficiency of building new a/b experiments cross-platform (web, tv, android, and iOS). To achieve that goal we started investing in reusable toolkit components and a GraphQL-based consolidated endpoint. In order for us to enable rapid experimentation through these scalable building blocks, I established a working group of 15+ engineers to help drive Server-driven UI adoption.
• To come up with an execution roadmap, I spent time with the working group to help identify areas of ambiguity and opportunities for the team to develop proof of concepts so we could iterate and gain clarity quickly. This enabled us to build and set up an SDUI rendering framework on the server and client which led to a technical adoption strategy along with an execution roadmap where we debated various approaches we could take to get our 7+ year web legacy stack for the signup flow areas onto a brand new client and server architecture. This also allowed us to adopt the reusable components being built by another team. Taking in feedback from the team I envisioned & documented a long-term strategy (1-2 years) for how the SDUI adoption might evolve and impact other ongoing technology and architecture investments in the signup flow space.
• Deprecating a legacy Configuration tool
• I led the team to help deprecate the usage of a legacy a/b configuration tool that the backend team managed for us. Handling this enormous tech debt led to a 15% improvement in latency over all backend requests.
• TypeScript adoption for our website stack
• I established a working group to help adopt TypeScript into our web stack where we migrated thousands of lines of production code in under 8 months through automated tooling.

• I spent 6+ years as an Individual contributor working on our Website and TVUI stack for our non-member Netflix app. During that time I had a chance to work on numerous A/B tests spanning the entire signup flow and member account space. I've also been involved in two major UI migrations that helped us move to a react framework on both TV and Web that has allowed us to innovate faster.

• I was part of Medallia's mobile team working on redesign of their current native app to an HTML5 hybrid app supporting IOS and Android.
• Implemented the base framework for front-end through the use of require js to load backbone js modules, loading templates through require js text plugin.
