🌍  Built global consumer, creator, and search experiences, alongside local-services, merchant, and transaction platforms
πŸ—οΈ  Focused on platform scale, reliability, data-driven product decisions, measurable business outcomes, and AI-enabled engineering productivity

🧭 Leadership scope

  • Technical strategy β€” Defined mobile and frontend technical direction for a multi-market local-services business, translating market and transaction goals into roadmaps, architecture decisions, and reusable platform investments.
  • Organization design β€” Built and operated a four-team, 40+ person engineering organization through four direct Tech Lead Managers and domain owners, with clear accountability from strategy to execution; developed 10+ Staff and Tech Lead leaders across departments.
  • Capacity and prioritization β€” Owned resource allocation and delivery priorities across market launches, transaction-critical flows, reliability, and platform foundations, balancing near-term business commitments with long-term architecture.
  • Talent systems β€” Served on TikTok's frontend promotion committee and owned hiring, leveling, and succession planning for an organization of approximately 50 people.

  • Delivered global transaction platforms and reduced transaction latency from 1.7s to 0.6s
  • Built reliability systems achieving 99.99% SLA; reduced CI time by 51%
  • Led AI-enabled engineering adoption, improving unit-test development efficiency by 70%+

πŸš€ Selected product platforms

  • TikTok Local Services β€” Consumer transactions, merchant tools, affiliate and service-provider ecosystems, and operations platforms.
  • Helo, BuzzVideo, TopBuzz, and Lemon8 β€” Global consumer products spanning content, creator, search, growth, and platform capabilities.

Most of this work powers live products and internal platforms, so detailed architecture and operating metrics are not publicly shareable.
