\section{EXPERIENCE}
{\bf Indeed, Inc.} -- Austin, TX and Remote \hfill {\bf January 2020 -- Present}
\\
\textit{Software Engineering Manager, CI Platform} \hfill {\bf September 2022 -- Present}
\\
\begin{itemize}
\item
Managed a team of up to 12 engineers, including interns and Junior Engineers to Staff Engineers. Grew and developed the contractor support team into a full-development augmentation team. Provided consistent 1-on-1s and mentoring for engineers and managers, both within the coaching tree and outside it. Helped grow the team both through hiring and promotion, including multiple individuals' Senior Engineer promotions. Collaborated with cross-functional partners to set and measure OKRs, prioritize features, and engage customers in our projects.
\item
Successfully owned and executed a company wide migration from Jenkins to GitLab CI. Drove OKR of sunsetting the old system (30,000 jobs across 2,000 projects performing 10,000 builds per week). The current system runs over 150,000 builds per week. The migration was highlighted externally as a success story by the CEO of GitLab (https://youtu.be/zU7Q1sQRBlM?t=645).\item
Drove multi-year effort to gain buy-in and eventually execute conversion to a higher-tier GitLab license, yielding seven-figure savings through simplification and rationalization of multiple products including SAST/DAST scanning and homegrown compliance tools.
\item
Balanced efforts to achieve stability of critical artifact services (Sonatype Nexus) while also driving the project to replace the legacy system with a more scalable cloud-native solution (Cloudsmith).\item
Drove the team to use innovative solutions to accomplish our goals. We prioritized and encouraged external contributions (inner-source model), resulting in a 10-fold increase in contributions during a 6 month timeframe. This was essential to meeting OKRs both for our team and our sibling teams. Engineers of all levels (Intern to Principal Engineer) participated and this created opportunities for mentorship and cross-organizational impact for our team.\item
Coached a peer in their transition from Staff Engineer to Engineering Manager. Provided support and helped ensure a successful and smooth transition.
\item
Indeed relies upon GitLab, an open-source project, for our SCM and CI needs. Prioritized an intern project to contribute to GitLab in order to reduce uncertainty and mitigate risk so we are better positioned to contribute in the future. An unrelated blocking bug was discovered during the intern project and we were able to fix it ourselves and contribute it to GitLab. We were able to prevent delays in other projects because we anticipated this risk and started this effort in advance.
\item
Championed a major company-wide build tool project as a thought leader for the entire organization, influencing others including Staff and Principal architects. Created collaboration channels including a Slack channel, problem space review, team proposal, and other larger discussions resulting in funding for an independent team to carry the project to fruition.\item
Participated in recruiting and interviewing senior industry hires for many teams at Indeed. Became calibrated on multple interview types (Whiteboard, Architecture). Leveraged interviewing experience to quickly fill open headcount on my own team, hiring multiple engineers and mitigating the negative impacts of attrition.

\item
Created metrics and a dashboard to track migration progress and worked with product management to set and measure OKRs.
\item
Mentored other engineers on the team and sibling teams, ranging from Junior Engineer to Senior Engineer. Performed code reviews and design reviews to guide other engineers. Participated in interviewing including for senior industry hires.
