    Building the experimentation platform that empowers Windows engineering teams to learn faster and ship with confidence. Experimentation & AI - Redesigning the experiment results experience so anyone can interpret results without a data expert — step-by-step cards, one-line answers, and AI-generated summaries with the option to dig deeper - Delivered ramp controls and safety guardrails that enabled the intended test-then-deploy workflow, closing a gap that had been pushing teams toward the wrong path by default - Built audience change visibility so teams can detect population shifts before they affect experiment outcomes - Retired 200+ stale experiments in one week, reducing costs and turning the cleanup into a governance policy for cleaner signals going forward - Presented at Code Windows and the Weekly Experimentation Forum to position experimentation as a core learning mechanism across partner teams Compliance & Security - Led Windows-wide EU regulatory compliance education; drove Wave 1 on time and helped one team prevent significant data loss by developing a new compliant approach to computing business metrics - Coordinated cross-functional security initiative delivery across engineering and PM partners through multiple waves of requirements Customer Engagement - Engaged 100+ customers to retire low-value data pipelines; drove 80% retirement of expensive processing operations and laid groundwork for an automated governance process - Reduced latency by 40% and improved resilience to upstream failures by 35% by redesigning the data asset authoring experience Leadership - Led teams spanning engineering, data science, design, and policy across 6 years; kept priorities clear through multiple org transitions and bridged geographically distributed teammates by connecting their work to real product direction - Built team culture through inclusive practices and initiatives recognized by management as making "a real difference" for cohesion
