At Onaroll, I stepped into a short but high-impact role as a hands-on Engineering Manager. The company’s flagship product supported rewards, performance improvement, and goal tracking for shift workers in the hospitality industry. The product was live, active, and important to the business.
One of the biggest projects I led there was a major architecture migration from Heroku and Create React App to Next.js and Vercel. A migration like that is not just a technical checklist. It affects deployment, reliability, developer workflow, performance, and the team’s ability to keep building after launch.
The goal was to modernize the foundation without disrupting users. That meant coordinating carefully, testing thoroughly, working across product and design, and keeping the team aligned on both the technical plan and the business risk.
The migration launched with zero defects and no user downtime. During that same role, I also coached a junior engineer from a PIP to promotion, hired and onboarded an engineer, and worked closely with product and design to support product strategy and timelines.
