Fleet-scale auth migration
Led a phased, low-risk migration of authentication across the service fleet — soak gates, revert-ready rollouts, and a clean decommission of the legacy path.

What I work on
On the Eng Technology Platform team I focus on the layer under product: authentication migrations, progressive delivery, shared testing culture, and developer experience — so learning teams can ship without gambling on production.
Delivery safety
Stood up progressive delivery foundations: canary analysis, automated rollback paths, deploy freezes, and clearer production status for engineers.
Testing culture
Designed shared testing libraries and workflows so teams ship with confidence — coverage visibility, mutation testing, and org-wide guidance.
Lifecycle & DevEx
Automated service decommissioning, improved CI/CD observability, and shipped internal tooling and docs that reduce platform toil.

Case studies
High-level narratives from platform work — outcomes and approach, without the internal machinery.
