Led design and development of two new applications integrating with the core application. First a mail ingestion application to leverage the core NLP/ML, adding email as a second data source (originally support case only). Secondly developed a trial application experience from the ground up, enabling a self-service demo/trial experience for prospects. Improved reliability across multiple javascript applications by improving error monitoring and enforcing use of code linters.

Resolved critical scale issues with RabbitMQ. Increased platform stability/uptime by re-architecting core data pipeline functionality. Greatly improved report performance through query optimization and database redesign. Developed and designed many KPI reports that drew great customer response. Ramped many new hires on codebase to meaningful productivity within the first month. Built transpiler to execute complex, graph based, marketing automation campaigns on a distributed microservice workflow engine. Helped craft the redesign of the UX, working closely with designers and product management. Led team of interns in building the new UI with VueJS. Established best practices and self-documenting reference code to expedite the team shifting from angularjs to VueJS. Got buy-in from the whole R&D organization in picking VueJS for the rebuild of the whole UI, having presented pros/cons of angular/react/vuejs. (Right solution, for the team, not a silver bullet)
