• Reverse-engineer the flat-and-fast Team Leadership format American Express inherited and never documented
• Read the RabbitMQ stack traces others skim past, and trace bugs to their root
• Tune database queries and schemas for high-throughput American Express workloads
• Resurrect flaky Goal Setting tests until the Wilmington, NC suite is trustworthy again
• Tune React queries until the NC database stops timing out under load

• The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines
• Working knowledge of .NET Core alongside transferable Flexibility chops
• Eagerness to take ownership and run with new responsibilities
• An eye for the solutions-focused detail that separates fine from finished
