pymetricsSenior Software Engineering Manager

Sep. 2021 - Apr. 2022RemoteI am leading an application scrum team as Tech Lead / Scrum Master / Engineering Manager after successfully restructuring agile processes to favor scaling, reduce burnout, increase predictability of delivery, and minimize single points of system failure. As a proponent of continuous innovation in a managerial IC role, I actively seek a balanced blend of autonomy with critical standardized processes in order to empower teams to streamline cohesive product delivery across verticals in a B2B SaaS environment. Leveraging AWS Serverless apis, I architected and implemented a domain-driven lambda service via the strangler pattern to begin the decomposition of our core monolithic web server into a scalable SOA. Leaning on Conway's Law, the effort was also intended to pave the way for teams to structure themselves around fullstack autonomous product ownership boundaries. Empowering teams from initial design, testing, QA to release and customer support, tightening the feedback loop and minimizing the number of stakeholders required for decision-making would yield streamlined product discovery / delivery while maintaining a quality pipeline of accelerated innovation as the organization scaled.
