Sr. Technical Program Manager
Current- Developed a VP technical program in 2023 from scratch to reduce time spent deploying onsite technology by 50% (3 weeks to 1.5 weeks). Aligned with partner tech teams to develop improvements to technology bring-up tooling and processes by leading biweekly leadership meetings with >50 participants to report on status metrics, and drive execution across multiple teams. Continued and expanded program in 2024 to reduce entire onsite construction and tech deployment bring-up by 33%, saving >$500k in labor costs. - Led a new store product (store kit) to reduce total cost by >70% compared with current store builds. Enabled savings by working with engineering development teams to modify existing vision algorithms to reduce runtimes by 40% and simplified vision requirements to reduce camera count from 36 to 20 cameras.- Delivered a business program the reduced labor hours in Amazon Fresh stores by 40%. Led the technology deployment of the first international stores in the UK and Germany.- Partnered with engineering and research teams to deliver an entirely new camera calibration process using RTC scans, with plans to migrate to iPads LIDAR scanning by end of 2024. This process eliminates the need to send a dedicated engineer to site to perform bring-up functions, resulting in a $8K reduction in labor cost/store (~$800k total cost savings in 2024).
