- Architected and implemented the team's Nx monorepo from the ground up — consolidated multiple RN apps under a shared core, established the apps/libs boundary, and unblocked code reuse across the platform. - Designed an internal App Wizard on top of the monorepo that scaffolds new MedTech apps in days instead of weeks; powers 3+ production apps from a shared platform. - Spearheaded Spec-Driven Development (SDD) across the organization — defined the process end-to-end, built team workspaces (including skills and enablement for non-technical teams), and selected the supporting frameworks and tooling. - Established the team's Claude Code workflow: authored a monorepo-aware CLAUDE.md hierarchy, custom commands, and specialized agents; built token-optimization tooling with Ollama sub-agent routing to delegate boilerplate and classification work to local models. - Shipped Chronic Disease Management (Accu-Chek SDK integration) and Digital Vision Assessment — production MedTech apps in a regulated, FDA-context environment. - Built native modules for Bluetooth medical devices, vision sensors, and diagnostics — abstracted into a reusable SDK layer consumed across the app suite. - Led the migration to Expo and Expo Router across the app suite — modernized the native build pipeline (EAS), simplified navigation, and significantly reduced time-to-onboard for new engineers. - Built an AI-powered code review tool used internally to flag regressions, enforce conventions, and accelerate PR turnaround across the mobile team. - Defined the quarterly AI roadmap for the mobile org and led adoption across feature teams; mentored engineers on RN architecture, native modules, and AI-augmented engineering.
