I was responsible for growing and maturing a talented team of developers to build Rivian’s scheduling platform to coordinate commitments with customers for activities such as Test Drives, Deliveries, Fleet, and Vehicle Service. As a full-stack team, we collaborated across the business to design and deliver a suite of micro-services (REST & GQL), micro-frontends (React), and enterprise applications to be used across Enterprise Technology. As business grew and there was a need for a more flexible and dynamic system, we matured the platform to take into account resource location, availability, and capabilities when offering appointment times. The goal was to reduce employee overhead, automate coordination, minimize downtime, and take external factors (such as transit time) into consideration.
