  • Holding a high bar on technical decision making, and setting a standard for engineering artifacts that the team creates, such as code and design docs.
  • Developing & monitor device health tripwires, establishing a strong detection and resolution practice to prevent employee downtime.
  • Triaging and resolving service disruptions impacting employees, and quarterbacking solutions as needed.
