Presented Q1 progress on OKRs at the mid-quarter engineering all-hands, naming two key results tracking well and one behind due to a dependency on the data platform team, and opening a frank conversation about establishing a better cross-team coordination model.
Led an architecture review across four services with senior engineers, identified two future bottlenecks as we scale past 10x current load, and drafted and circulated an RFC with the recommended approach.
Ran a tech debt sprint planning effort, cataloguing 31 items, scoring impact and effort, selecting 8 for this sprint, and pairing people with stretch-appropriate items to balance satisfaction and growth.

Catalogued 31 tech debt items and prioritized 8 high-impact tasks for the current sprint.
Presented Q1 OKR progress during the mid-quarter engineering all-hands, highlighting key result successes.
Conducted deep-dive architecture reviews for 4 core services to identify scaling bottlenecks.
Drafted and circulated an RFC addressing architectural designs that would fail at 10x current load.
Initiated critical discussions regarding cross-team coordination models to resolve data platform dependencies.
