products are delivered efficiently, including creating backlogs, code reviews and mentoring. Worked closely with Engineering Managers to collate feedback for team members and ensure their career goals are aligned.

Worked in a more platform focused role of front end development, assisting other engineers with leading the development of business critical features. This allowed focus on providing tooling, library/framework updates and various other tasks that support engineers day to day.
