Prior to joining CADDi, I worked in Silicon Valley at Robinhood, as a member of the Developer Experience team, working on initiatives to make the engineering organization more productive and efficient. Before that, I worked at Amazon, where I worked on improving the performance of the operating system that runs on several of their devices, such as the Fire TV stick and Alexa speakers.
I felt fulfilled technically with my career in Silicon Valley and wanted to challenge myself in new ways. This is when I made the decision to move to Japan. With my previous experience of focusing on developer experience and productivity and with where CADDi was at in its growth, I felt this opportunity aligned perfectly with my skills and my goals. Through the interview process, I was impressed both the managers and ICs I had the opportunity to speak with. How CADDi handled the offer process was like nothing I ever experienced before and I was affirmed that accepting the offer was the right choice.
Immediately upon joining CADDi, I had the opportunity to contribute to several teams. As a member of the Workflow Engine team, I helped create infrastructure for a new product. I was then embedded in this team to build the rule engine for this new product. After completing this work, I was one of the founding members of the Platform Engineering team, where I've focused on Github org cleanup and governance. I've also worked on cookie cutter templates to help engineers bootstrap new projects. My current focus is integrating AI into these templates to enable engineers to create more diverse and robust applications.
