Our scope is unusually broad: developer tooling and shared standards, observability and resilience engineering, core product server systems, and a growing Rust framework for building correct services fast. We lead AI tool adoption across the entire company.

We inherited complex and important Scala systems that need scaling work and data layer rethinking.

Emotional safety matters. We lead with empathy for our users and our colleagues. We own the whole problem, not just the interesting parts.
