• cleaned up and fixed a ton of layout bugs - after which we didn't need any more major initiatives to deal with layout bugs
• added support for nesting list views in retool
• led the effort to rewrite the retool core runtime (a performance and stability project that most thought impossible to ship) with a task force and delivered it without causing major outages
• prototyped some LLM app gen ideas, some of which was incorporated into the product

• mentored a couple of other engineers to ship a new version of list view with vastly improved performance
