Experience

1. Technical Team Lead, Engineering Manager

   Bloomberg Industry Group

   Jan 2023 — Present · Arlington, VA, US

   Led data-driven R&D on frontend enablement with AI, developing automated workflows with embedded standards and quality guardrails. Integrated MCP servers (e.g. Figma, zeroheight, GitLab, and custom-built accessibility MCP servers) with Cursor and GitHub Copilot to establish repeatable, secure, and accessible LLM code outputs. • Led redesign and rebuild of an AI-optimized, multi-brand design system to centralize tooling and processes across three previously siloed verticals. Developed self-service platform for design system adoption, training, and support.• Architected Nx monorepo and enforced platform-wide quality standards (TypeScript, linting, CI templates), enabling consistent, scalable delivery with maintainers and inner-source contributors.• Designed an interface-first Typeface component architecture and leveraged LLMs to accelerate modular implementation in Vue and React, maintaining velocity despite team attrition.• Reduced friction in design-to-code handoff by integrating Figma with IDE environments, enabling asynchronous collaboration with code snippets, standardized analytics tagging, and annotations.• Designed a multi-year upskilling program for early-career engineers based on identified skill gaps. Started a technical knowledge sharing program across the organization. Mentored team to cultivate systems thinking, focusing on scalability, resilience, and AI-readiness.
