Experience

  • MongoDB (Full-time · 7 yrs 11 mos)
    • Engineering Team Lead
      Jul 2021 - Present · 5 yrs

      Leading a small team of engineers to maintain and improve Evergreen, MongoDB's internal CI System, and its strong integration with GitHub. Between January 2023 and August 2024, I additionally took on Evergreen's UI team to fill a gap for my department and to help align these teams and the product through that period. In August 2024 we promoted a manager to give the UI team a dedicated focus, so I am able to dedicate myself more fully to the future of our feature work and application. Together we collaborate to align the teams towards a consistent and cohesive user experience.
