  • Worked as part of the S3 Console team, building the console for the largest storage solution in the world—a uniquely challenging experience.
  • Owned large projects end-to-end and led teams of developers on implementation, e.g. - the S3 Batch Operations console. Collaborated closely with principal engineers, product managers, security consultants and various other teams on these projects.
  • Co-led a full rewrite of the console code, switching from AngularJS to React and adopting a new company-wide design system. Focused on developer experience and education when building this new foundation.

  • We used primarily Typescript, React and Redux, but touched a variety of languages and internal/external frameworks & tools.
  • Worked on dev-ops in addition to development - managing the deployment pipeline, gathering and analyzing metrics and logs, maintaining and tuning alarms, participating in on-call duty, and dealing with high severity issues.
