Implemented Delta Scan, which reduced scan time by 93% and dramatically improved pipeline efficiency by surfacing only new or changed records.

Spearheaded a comprehensive TypeScript migration using an LLM workflow, converting the entire codebase from JS to TS, and built an internal CLI to automate JS to TS conversion across the organization, improving static checking, code quality, and reducing bugs.

Led 'Project Aether,' rebuilding the marketplace architecture for accessibility, SEO, and performance, which drove a 13% lift in app conversion and a 29.2% rise in on-site search usage.

Successfully rolled out a Privacy & Security tab to surface app compliance signals, reducing accessibility errors by over 60% and strengthening customer trust.

Migrated FlowJS to TypeScript and upgraded Webpack 5, improving CI build times by 20% and enhancing release reliability for over 40 engineers by cutting build times and dependency cycles.

Redesigned the video seek bar with click-to-seek, fast seek, markers, and thumbnail support, which improved viewer engagement and completion rates on large-screen devices.

Invented an on-device debug loop that pushed builds over localhost, eliminating a 1-hour deploy cycle and cutting developer debug turnaround from over 60 minutes to real-time.

Spearheaded green-field discovery as the first web engineer, conducting extensive interviews with marketing, design, product, and partner teams to define user journeys and MVP scope.

Evaluated and selected React + Shaka Player for optimal performance, DRM, and partner SDK support, defining the core technology stack for the new platform.
