Staff Technical Program Manager — Developer Experience & DevAI Platform
- Helped scale Waymo's DevAI adoption program — partnered with SWE teams to evaluate AI coding tools, improve onboarding, and identify practical workflows where AI assistance could reduce engineering toil.
- Managed DevX Critical Journeys workstreams focused on simulation and evaluation workflows, using developer feedback and workflow data to prioritize improvements in usability, reliability, and compute efficiency.
- Designed and launched Waymo Clusters, a centralized platform for tracking long-running engineering problem areas — replacing fragmented legacy tracking processes with a shared workflow for ownership, status, and reporting.
- Built the underlying schema, SQL logic, and dashboards for Waymo Clusters, giving cluster leads and cross-functional stakeholders clearer visibility into active problem areas and triage progress.
- Created the Continuous Triage Strategy and PDRM framework to standardize how critical events are reviewed, routed, and followed up across engineering teams.
- Supported migration of critical-event triage workflows away from manual spreadsheets toward structured dashboards and automated routing, reducing coordination overhead for engineering triagers.
Senior Technical Program Manager — Vulnerable Road User (VRU) Safety Portfolio
- 96% reduction in VRU Incidents Per Billion Miles — program-managed the safety-feature roadmap that surpassed human safety benchmarks and unlocked commercial mileage and geographic expansion.
- Orchestrated the VRU portfolio across 7 vertical and horizontal engineering teams (Planner Reasoning, Perception Semantics, Behavior Prediction), defining standard execution practices for 140+ engineers across 10+ departments.
- Founded the Escalated Issues Working Group, retiring 13 long-tail show-stoppers and coordinating data-collection campaigns that eliminated driverless Disengage Zones in San Francisco.
- Led operational readiness for high-visibility driverless rollouts (e.g., SF Halloween) — real-time safety tracking and coordination across Engineering, Operations, Safety, Product, and Legal.
