Software Engineering Manager

2017 - 2018

I managed the team responsible for powering personalized user experiences, this involved participating in designing a federated data layer, and enabling my own team, as well as other teams in the organization to leverage this system. This enabled faster iteration, and empowered the rest of the organization to move faster by decoupling teams and enabling teams to move independently. My main focus was growing the skills and careers of my direct reports by making sure their projects were highly aligned with long term company priorities.
