Experience

  • Senior Software Engineer II at Nike
    Jun 2021 - Present · 5 yrs 2 mos

    As a Senior Software Engineer II on Nike's Experimentation team, I help design, build, and operate in-house capabilities that replace or reduce reliance on third-party experimentation, feature delivery, and marketing activation platforms. I partner across engineering and business teams to deliver scalable services, clean integrations, and measurable outcomes for global digital commerce. I championed standardizing how we build and ship software to accelerate delivery and reduce friction. I partnered across engineering to align conventions supporting codebase readability, semantic versioning, cleaner releases, CI/CD patterns that improved consistency, predictable deployments with clear rollback options. I have adopted AI-assisted development workflows to streamline day-to-day engineering and actively share these practices and playbooks with my team, helping them adopt responsibly and effectively. • Own shared services and libraries supporting high-scale traffic (~20M weekly requests), with strong test coverage (~95%) and reliable CI/CD practices. • Engineer in-house A/B testing, feature flagging, and experimentation platforms to replace third-party solutions like Adobe Target and Optimizely, improving cost, performance, and control. • Build marketing activation and owned-channel orchestration solutions to reduce dependency on retail automation platforms, enabling multi-channel execution with clear ownership. • Ship client- and server-side capabilities across nike.com in Adobe Target, TypeScript, React, Golang, Databricks and AWS, with New Relic and PagerDuty observability. • Publish npm packages with versioning, changelogs, and practical documentation to accelerate partner integrations and reduce support load. • Mentor engineers and present technical direction to stakeholders and vendors, aligning technical decisions with business outcomes.
