Platform SDKs — Vendor Abstraction & Cost Reduction

  • Designed and built a GDPR-compliant Analytics SDK replacing an unsustainable ~€1M/year external vendor contract; conducted a full deprecation impact analysis across all web projects confirming no breaking usages and unblocking the migration.
  • Designed and shipped a vendor-agnostic Observability SDK setting the web org standard — with PII scrubbing and Core Web Vitals monitoring.

AI Tooling & Developer Experience

  • Packaged the Dependabot vulnerability remediation workflow into a reusable Claude slash command — adopted across all web teams, turning a multi-step manual process into a < 3-minute fix.
  • Built MCP servers for both Observability & Analytics SDKs so engineers could integrate without reading docs — collapsing a doc-heavy setup into same-day adoption.
