Front End Engineer II - IT Services Development

May 2024 - Present

• Designed and implemented the development of an AI-powered search experience for an internal IT website as an away-team developer. This involved establishing a websocket connection to stream real-time LLM responses to user search queries to a new, dynamic UI component. I collaborated with UX Design, Product, and Engineering Management from an external team to define requirements, design solutions, write user stories, and deliver a user-centric feature providing concise AI-generated summaries of search results.

• Wrote Python script to automatically generate an internal wiki page for our team’s weekly operational review that collects ticket information, ops ticket statistics, software architectural compliance risks, as well as scrape data for procedural deployment documents. Saving approx 1hr/week of tedious developer time. Easing pain points of our team’s on-call process and raising the bar for our team’s operational reviews and readiness.
