Engineering ManagerShipHero
07/2022 - 06/2023

Requirements: Maintain and Improve the Warehouse Management System. Reported to VP Engineering Team Size: 1 Manager + 8 Engineers Disciplines: SRE, DevOps, Cloud Engineering. Tech Stack: AWS (CloudFront, S3, EC2, SQS, RDS) + Python (Flask) + Github + Terraform Cloud + Ansible + Packer. After an initial onboarding and assessment, I identified and reported the following challenges: • The existing team has serious difficulties to ensure reliability and bring value ahead of the next peak season. Once team was aligned, goals agreed and plans communicated, we executed the following actions: • Increase engagement between team and customers to produce a change towards real service ownership. My success was ultimately reflected in the following outcomes: • 30% savings in team operations. 65% reduction in Total Cloud Expense. • Better service, faster time to market, with less investment.

Requirements: Maintain and Improve the Customer Data Platform. Reported to Director Cloud Engineering Team Size: 6 Engineers Disciplines: SRE, DevOps, Cloud Engineering Motivated by an eventual acquisition, collectively we agreed the following challenges: • Attrition rate is very high, compromising the re-design of the CDP ahead of an eventual acquisition. Once team was aligned, goals agreed and plans communicated, we executed the following actions: • Re-design and re-architect the existing data ingestion flow, using AWS Glue suite to ensure performance at scale. My success was ultimately reflected in the following outcomes: • The new CDP proved to be performant at the required scale validated and certified by external auditors. • Product was re-designed and ownership was transitioned as part of the acquisition process.

Requirements: Maintain and Improve the Customer Data Platform. Reported to Engineering Manager Team size: 2 Engineers Disciplines: SRE, DevOps, Cloud Engineering. After an initial onboarding and assessment, I identified and reported the following challenges: • The existing stack prevents application growth, making the product useless. Once team was aligned, goals agreed and plans communicated, we executed the following actions: • Implement Infrastructure as Code & CICD for all existing systems, extending them to support missing flows. My success was ultimately reflected in the following outcomes: • New Tech stack that proved to be scalable while remaining simple to reproduce. • 75% reduction in Total cost of product redesign while remaining cost effective.
