support our Health Navigator integration. Under my leadership, we were the first team

at Amazon, and were among the first teams in the world, to ship Compose. � More...

• Led our team through rapid personnel changes- from 4 people, to 2, to 8, in 5 weeks.

• Mentored teammates on system design to improve features like chat and metrics.

• Influenced our design team to adopt Figma, design sprints, and design systems.

• Company-wide leadership work:

management (Gradle, with Maven repositories) at Amazon, allowing 100+ Android

engineers, in 10+ teams, across multiple orgs, to easily use AndroidX, Kotlin, Jetpack

Compose, and other important libraries. The core is a highly secure, multi-AZ

service that persistently proxies external Maven repositories. This service passed

security review from AWS AppSec, and passed pen-testing with zero findings. It has

run reliably in production, with zero outages, for its entire lifetime. � More...

• Led the request for App Bundles / App Signing by Google Play, driving consensus

across Amazon’s 10 largest Android teams.

• Led the technical side of getting Figma approved for all AWS teams, including Care.

Over the course of 7 months, I worked together with a group of Amazon designers
