File 02 Engineering leadership
Scaling a product—and the team responsible for it.
Four years leading engineering through product growth, performance work, technical modernization, and team development.
Field report
At Blanket, the engineering challenge grew from keeping an early product moving to creating a reliable platform and organization capable of serving millions of users.
I led work across web, mobile, data, hiring, onboarding, delivery, and product planning. A major performance effort reduced average query time from 45–60 seconds to roughly half a second and improved the experience on older Android devices.
The durable outcome was not a single optimization. It was a maintainable codebase, a dependable delivery rhythm, and an engineering team with the context and practices to keep improving the product.
