Montu

Acting Group Engineering Manager

March 2025 - June 2025

Technical Stack: Javascript, Typescript, React, NestJS, MySQL, AWS

In my role as Group Engineering Manager, I drove consistency, autonomy, and delivery capability across multiple engineering teams. I worked to embed a culture of proactive ownership, constructive feedback, and cross-functional collaboration.

I mentored Engineering Managers and engineers, ensuring alignment between execution and company vision. Even at my position, when possible, I was still hands-on in feature development, API and database design, and production issue resolution. Helping my team in understanding the needs of the business and the requirements of the features and systems we were building and improving.

I led engagement with clinical, compliance, and executive leaders—using technical insight and domain expertise to shape both the roadmap and the broader product strategy.

I conducted technical and cultural interviews for new hires within the engineering, product and delivery teams, ensuring we were hiring the right people for the right roles.

Senior Software Developer

April 2023 - September 2023

Technical Stack: Javascript, Typescript, React, NestJS, MySQL, AWS

Software Engineer III (iOS Native)

April 2022 - April 2023

When given the opportunity to become an iOS developer, I jumped at the chance to learn more about the mobile and native app space. I started this role with no previous native development experience. As we used a server-driven architecture, the knowledge I gained through working on the SDUI back-end API helped greatly in understanding the architecture of our native app space.

During this time I have ramped-up and interviewed new iOS developers onto our architecture and iOS development processes.

Software Engineer II/III

March 2020 - April 2022

In this role, I am primarily a back-end Kotlin developer; however, I work to help maintain a variety of both back and front-end systems.

One of my most notable projects includes being part of the team migrating a high traffic application in Expedia from a client sided legacy system, to an API first server-driven UI architecture. The stack we used for this was Kotlin, GraphQL interfacing with a gRPC lower layer.

In this project I was responsible for all aspects of the API; including but not limited to designing UI data schema (and taking it from schema to code) and ensuring all clients (web, mobile web, native iOS/Android) agreed on a single schema. This ensured there was no downtime between implementation and/or changes.

Software Engineer I

September 2017 - February 2020

Full-stack engineer, working with Java (back-end) and React (front-end). My most notable project during this time was supporting building and maintaining a react PWA with a node middle-layer API.

I ran a community sync meeting of React developers spread across multiple time zones, to share ideas, learnings and updates. During this time I (outside of work) helped to support ReactBris meetup in our office.
