Moxion Power
Engineering Manager
Moxion Power designs, engineers, and manufactures mobile energy storage products and technologies, which enable and accelerate the electrification of industries such as construction,... more transportation, utilities, live events, film production, and defense.
VP, Software Engineering
- Scaled engineering organization and drove process improvements within the software engineering function for a rapidly growing Series A startup; member of executive team... more driving enterprise-level strategy.
- Designed an onboarding process and streamlined hiring process allowing for headcount growth from 7 engineers to 22 across backend, frontend, infrastructure/platform and data engineering disciplines.
- Managed initiative to design, implement and launch an “embedded analytics” feature, leading to immediate upsell opportunity across existing customer base; leveraging hosted AWS services, Airflow, dbt, Snowflake and Sigma Computing. Launched feature to forecast part yield and lead times.
- Instrumented processes for on-call, code quality and resilience improvements, and improvements to observability of software operations; developed metrics, a formal performance review system, and reorganized engineering into product-oriented teams to support targeted software quality improvements; achieved a 70% reduction of customer-reported bugs between June and November 2022.
- Initiated significant application performance improvements in front end and backend systems, including configuration of Sentry.io, identifying significant performance improvement opportunities, achieved 60% improvement in median backend performance, and improved 75th percentile page load performance by nearly 500 ms.

Lead Technical Manager
- Program Lead for Behavior & Reasoning team, with emphasis on Intersections and passenger pickup/dropoff, supporting interfaces between robotics, machine learning and... more software engineering teams; presented regularly to executive committee, including the CEO.
- Responsible for quarterly and annual technical planning, including building objectives, resourcing planning, executive review and resource reconciliation, with direct impact on organization of ~120 engineers.
- Responsible for building sustainable processes for “problem discovery”, developing triage systems and designing taxonomies for attributing root cause; developed methods for data-driven detection of regressions at intersections and drove targeted effort to reduce autonomous system disengagement risk by >80%.
- Implemented evaluation framework to analyze new features, overseeing integration “launch review” process that synthesized signals about safety, compliance and quality of new features or autonomous capabilities.

Apple
Engineering Manager
- Designed and implemented program-level metrics and KPIs; developed data pipeline using Apache Airflow to feed reporting with real-time dashboards; presented regular results... more to key stakeholders and executive team.
- Applied machine learning to automate the classification of critical events for a human triage process, including analyzing structured and unstructured text to assess severity.
- Collaborated with engineering team to implement suite of applications to manage testing and operation of a robot fleet; designed key operating metrics for monitoring resource utilization; drove requirements, feature set and delivery timeline; interviewed and hired resources for feature development.
- Partnered with a data platform team to develop a large-scale “data mesh” implemented using Presto, Hive, Parquet; designed metrics for managing rapid ramp-up and adoption of a cloud-based compute platform from an internal “bare metal” data center, responsible for executive reporting.

Head of Engineering
- Engineering lead for an innovation group at Iron Mountain, a $9B physical storage and logistics business.
- Hired to develop a consumer on-demand self-storage solution... more named Stashable; Stashable was acquired by market-leader MakeSpace in May 2019.
- Responsible for product development schedule, QA and engineering; managed a 25-person product and engineering team, coordinated with operations and marketing to launch service in 12 cities; responsible metrics collection and reporting to management, operations and marketing.
- Managed microservices architecture for an iOS app built with Swift; core infrastructure built using Java and the Spring Framework; DevOps employing Docker, Jenkins and Rancher Labs/Kubernetes for orchestration.
