I was the founder of the Front End Guild which ultimately expanded to having a full panel of leadership, where I was responsible for organizing an internal group of engineers at all levels to determine company best practices with team buy-in, discuss new relevant technology, and create new projects which added value to the company. It was a thriving environment which yielded significant team engagement results and raised the bar for the company so much that additional guilds for other domains followed.Additionally, I served as Tech Lead on large-scale, multi-discipline projects where I created and refined large portions of the project roadmap, identified and minimized areas of risk, ensured cross-team communication to maximize development time, and more- all while also delivering on my own front-end responsibilities for the project.During my time at Very, I was highly adaptable across a wide variety of client-driven projects including ecommerce, IoT, AI, and more and received high praise; including the Champion of Process Improvement award issued annually.
