      "summary": "I founded and am the current manager of Apollo's GraphQL Program Office, which is responsible for managing our relationship with the greater GraphQL community.  That includes the GraphQL Specification Project and the GraphQL Foundation, of which I am a Governing Board member and current Treasurer.\n\nMy duty is to contribute to the health of GraphQL, a cornerstone of the internet.  To that end I've helped plan and execute GraphQLConf and GraphQL Summit, the two major conferences in this space.  I played a key part in bringing together the minds behind the Composite Schemas Working Group to work on an open GraphQL Federation specification.  I've jump-started an open source sponsorship program at Apollo.  I've authored four courses on mobile GraphQL development using Swift and Kotlin.  My team and I have been featured in numerous keynotes and technical talks across the GraphQL, React, TypeScript, Android, and Kotlin communities.\n\nI've been honored with Apollo's 2025 leadership award and won the CTO award in our 2024 Hackathon.  I have been recognized as a 2024 GraphQL Star by the GraphQL Foundation.",

      "summary": "I'm serving the engineers who create Apollo Client, Apollo iOS, and Apollo Kotlin.  These are the flagship open-source client projects of Apollo GraphQL.  I also represent Apollo as a member of the GraphQL Foundation Governing Board, helping to grow the GraphQL community through grants, events, content, and funding.\n\nThe engineers I serve are the best of the best, so my approach is to empower my team with information, priorities, and trust while giving them the processes they need in order to deliver their best work.  The client libraries have grown in popularity and relevance due to judicious team growth, investment in community outreach, remarkable pace of innovation, and investment in the fundamentals of good open-source maintenance.\n\nI led the effort to draft a new Engineering Career Ladder that has helped set a high bar for IC performance and proper leveling of new hires.  I've also been doing a lot of glue work in transitioning our hiring process from a per-team, siloed approach to a cohort-based system.  During that time I drafted new rubrics and interview templates, gave internal presentations on hiring, and helped close some high-quality candidates.",
