• Built a full-stack engineering organization (I was employee #0 for First Mile) composed of 8 software engineering managers (junior, mid, and senior level) and 100 cross-disciplinary engineers (native/cross-platform mobile, adaptive/responsive web, API, streaming [Kafka/Pulsar], and relational/non-relational database)• Founded over 15 internal startups in various phases from ideation, incubation, acceleration, and scale. Built the organizational structure and culture to deliver lean startups supporting Innovation + Growth initiatives, OnStar Insurance, Enterprise Data Licensing, BrightDrop, and GM Defense • Delivered $30mm project for data monetization by streaming a sustained 200,000 requests/second (peak of 900,000 requests/second) in production, delivering 9+ billion messages on the first historical load alone with only 1 message errored (JSON unescaped string)• Improved organizational elasticity and speed of attack for new venture creation. Exemplified by moving 15 engineers, leader, and scrum/automation engineers from existing work to sprint 1 start in 4 business days of a new venture. First pull request was merged into main on day 1 of sprint 1• Designed, engineered, and delivered a CI/CD pipeline that lets engineers deliver without manual intervention required for a polyglot organization (all compile, test, monitoring, verifications, blue/green, CR creation, and security scans are in the pipeline). All CI builds are less than 10 minutes, CD is 15 minutes per environment, and 1 hour to production. The team deploys to production over 100 times per day (each push contains many applications)• Mentored each engineering leader to drive technology innovation alongside organizational innovation. Jointly built a learning culture through think tanks, disciplined peer review, purposeful rotations, and first-time anchor opportunities. Promoted software engineers through growth opportunities while simultaneously inventing a career path for engineering leaders
