Formed a new department focused on compliance for both engineering and product that has the scope for 5 different teams. Wayfair provides the ability for suppliers to sell their products on our site that requires us to verify two main areas: supplier diligence (insurance verification, business information, sanctioned lists, etc.) and product compliance for regulatory requirements like youth (cribs, playmats, etc.), hazardous materials, corporate sustainability, etc. The legal team has a broad cross functional need for their projects, and I worked across the entire engineering organization (2,000 engineers) to mature how all of these systems interact.

Led multiple teams involved in a large-scale technological transformation project to create an order platform that supported >$14B in 2020 and scaling data access to 20+ post-order teams integrating 127 apps. Set the strategy for the department to build out the features necessary and helped to communicate cross functionally how Wayfair systems should integrate with true platforms.

As my first position out of college, I was fortunate to be a part of a young start-up (30 employees) in customer service. I was able to work my up to technical support, a technical support team lead and finally as a developer. Helping the company grow to 250 employees to its final transition to eBay gave me an early exposure to all aspects of a company. Also, starting in positions supporting end users has ingrained that perspective in me which has benefited me throughout my career.
