   Itron ↗3× promoted in 2 yrs

   Engineering Lead (UI)Oct 2023 — present

   Inherited a frontend org with no TypeScript contracts, no shared testing culture, and a 21-minute CI pipeline. Rebuilt the tooling foundation first — Turborepo caching, strict TypeScript standards, org-wide component conventions — then led the product work that followed, including a Dynamic Forms Engine that compressed a 10-day manual safety process to 15 minutes.

   • 96×faster form creation — Dynamic Forms Engine reduced job safety briefings from 10 days to 15 minutes. Won a company award for this delivery.
   • Competed against 3 internal teams; delivered first with the lowest defect rate, directly unlocking 3 enterprise clients.
   • 68%CI build time cut (21 min → 7 min) — owned the end-to-end pipeline; Turborepo caching adopted across all frontend apps.
   • Authored org-wide engineering standards: TypeScript strict contracts, shared component API patterns, and testing conventions.
