CASE STUDIESTHE PROBLEM. THE WORK. THE RESULT.
01Insight Rx

Upgrading MongoDB across four major versions

The problem
A healthcare precision-dosing platform was running on an aging MongoDB, a ten-year-old AngularJS frontend, and untyped JavaScript.
What I did
Executed the MongoDB upgrade across four major versions, then modernized the surrounding stack: JavaScript to TypeScript, and AngularJS to React.
  • 55%fewer slow queries
  • ~180fewer Sentry errors per month
  • 35%fewer P0/P1 incidents
  • 12 → 4days of cycle time
02Travel Syndicate Technology

One React architecture for Hotel, Itinerary, and Manual Booking

The problem
Legacy Ember and React code lived side by side across 6 repos and 10 engineers, with duplicated logic, weekly releases, and slow incident mitigation.
What I did
Migrated to a single React architecture, gated releases on E2E checks, improved alerting, and added PostHog analytics to see how the product was used.
  • 30%less duplicated logic across 80 modules
  • 35%fewer production regressions
  • 1× → 3×releases per week
  • 45 → 15minutes to mitigate incidents
03Procore

Letting teams ship in parallel on a Rails monolith

The problem
The Quality and Safety suite was built into a Rails monolith, with a slow Webpack pipeline and JavaScript that shipped runtime bugs.
What I did
Decoupled the monolith into micro-frontends for parallel development, tuned the Webpack pipeline, and shipped Action Plans as the first TypeScript product.
  • 20 → 5minutes of CI build time
  • 40%fewer runtime bugs in Action Plans
  • 25major features across six products
  • 500+companies using them

There’s more
to the story.

Curiosity doesn’t switch off when the laptop closes. You’ll find me exploring on two wheels, on the ice, trying a new recipe, or building something just to see where it goes.
