Software Architect · Senior Frontend Engineer, May 2022 → Oct 2024

I lead frontend architecture on ted.com. A custom Next.js platform serving millions of readers a month. Day to day: product features, performance, refactors that ship without breaking production, partnering with design, product, and backend, pushing the team's engineering standards forward.

Selected shipped work. Led the team that traced and recovered a sharp drop in ad revenue. Built saved talks and personal playlists end to end, released behind a flag. Moved the services behind the site to a new architecture one piece at a time, with no maintenance window. Rebuilt the team's release-deploy tooling. Shipped a critical security migration the morning a frontend library hit a CVE. Server-rendered the talks pages so Google sees the right preview image before any JavaScript loads. Recovered a production outage the next morning with a single deploy fix.
