In my previous role as a lead frontend engineer, I had the chance to guide web engineers and push the boundaries of web applications. Now, as a Tech Lead, I'm continuing to come up with new ideas, especially with the exciting possibilities that GenAI technologies bring.

In this new role, I get to oversee the technical side of some really cool projects, focusing on how we can use GenAI. Here’s a bit of what I do:

  • Experimenting with New Ideas: I love evaluating the technical feasibility of new concepts and getting hands-on with experiments, especially in the early stages.
  • Building and Supporting Teams: Creating and supporting teams to run experiments and develop proof-of-concept solutions is a big part of my job. I make sure our developers have everything they need to work efficiently.
  • Finding the Right Resources: Whether it’s recruiting new engineers or identifying the technical resources we need, I handle it.
  • Collaborating with Others: I work closely with Product Owners and Solution Architects to make sure our technical execution aligns with our product goals.
  • Smooth Transitions: I help facilitate the transition from experimentation to MVP development, coordinating with business lines to ensure everything goes smoothly.
