Led the platform-API redesign that consolidated per-customer integrations into a single GraphQL gateway. Ten-person team, six-month delivery. Reduced new-integration setup time from 3 weeks to 2 days, unblocking the enterprise sales motion and removing the platform team as a routine bottleneck.

Led platform-API redesign at Plotline — consolidated integration sprawl into a GraphQL gateway, cutting new-integration setup from 3 weeks to 2 days.

Owned the end-to-end redesign of Plotline's customer-facing platform API. Replaced a per-customer integration model that had become an enterprise sales bottleneck with a single GraphQL gateway shared across the customer base. Managed a 10-person cross-functional team (engineering, design, partner success) over a six-month delivery window. Outcome: new-integration setup dropped from ~3 weeks to ~2 days, removing the platform team from the critical path on most enterprise deals and freeing capacity for higher-leverage work. Key decisions: scoped the v1 to read-only endpoints to ship within the half; phased write-path enablement post-launch based on partner-success priority signals; deferred a fully self-serve developer portal to v2 in favor of partnership-assisted onboarding.

Public-shareable scope + measurable outcome + no proprietary specifics. Strong Experience entry.

I led the platform-API redesign at Plotline last year. Took us from per-customer integration sprawl to a single GraphQL gateway. Ten-person team, six-month delivery. Reduced new-integration setup from 3 weeks to 2 days.

Ran the technical-validation phase for a Fortune-500-tier enterprise deal that became the largest ACV in the company's history. Worked directly with the customer's VP of Engineering and CISO over a six-week window. Up-leveled product understanding to handle architecture-level Q&A in real time. Deal closed in H2 2024 in the multi-million-dollar ACV range.

Customer name + specific deal size = NDA risk for public surface. Recruiter-relevant signal preserved via desensitized version.

Q3 self-review excerpt: 'Helped Acme close the largest enterprise deal in company history ($4.2M ACV) by personally running the technical-validation phase across their VP of Engineering and CISO over six weeks. Required learning enough about their existing data infrastructure to credibly answer architecture questions in real-time. Closed Dec 2024.'

Gave a 25-minute talk at ProductCon 2024 on knowing when to stop generalizing a platform — making the case that most platform teams over-build for abstract future flexibility and under-deliver for present customer pain. Used the Plotline GraphQL gateway as the case study.

ProductCon 2024 talk: 'The Half-Built Platform — When to Stop Generalizing.' On choosing customer impact over abstract flexibility in platform work.

Featured at ProductCon 2024 with a 25-minute talk on a counter-intuitive lesson from platform work: most platforms over-build for abstract future flexibility and under-deliver for present customer pain. Used the Plotline GraphQL gateway redesign as the case study — including the call to ship read-only endpoints first and defer the self-serve developer portal to v2. Watch the talk → [linked]

Self-reflection on a near-miss during the GraphQL gateway launch — tried to push for fully self-serve developer portal in v1, would have blown the timeline. PM lead pushed back; landed on partnership-assisted onboarding instead. Lesson: tendency to scope-creep when the v0 is already de-risked.

Personal reflection naming a colleague + self-critical framing. Private journal — not for any external surface.

Reflection: I tried to over-index on the developer-portal piece for the GraphQL gateway launch and almost blew the timeline. Almost insisted on a fully self-serve portal in v1. My PM lead at the time pushed back hard and we ended up with partnership-assisted onboarding for v1. She was right. I have to watch my tendency to scope-creep when the v0 is already de-risked.

Mentored two junior PMs through their senior-PM promotion cycles across 2024. One promoted, one is mid-cycle. Investment: ~2 hrs/week of structured coaching + review of their artifacts before submission.

Mentored two junior PMs through senior-promo cycles in 2024 — one promoted, one mid-cycle. Coaching + artifact review, ~2 hrs/week structured.

Across 2024, mentored two junior product managers through their senior-PM promotion cycles. The investment was ~2 hours/week of structured coaching plus review of their promo artifacts before submission. One promoted on first cycle; the other is mid-cycle and on track. The pattern that worked best: spending the first month identifying the 2-3 visible projects that would carry the promo case, then quietly making sure those projects didn't slip. Coaching the artifact was the easy part; coaching the project selection was where the real lift was.

Mentorship is shareable; no individual names exposed. Good About-section fodder for the 'how I show up' layer.
