Technical Program Manager

I'm a Technical Program Manager with 18+ years leading large-scale, high-impact technology initiatives across multiple organizations, platforms, and business functions. My core function is to own the technical program strategy for complex, business-critical initiatives and keep execution tightly aligned to measurable business outcomes. My Strengths • Navigating Ambiguity: I turn loosely defined, highly ambiguous programs into sequenced, prioritized roadmaps — mapping technical dependencies across APIs, client surfaces, and infrastructure into practical execution. • Cross-Functional Alignment: I align highly matrixed groups — Product, Design, client engineering, QA, Operations, Risk & Compliance, and Legal — around shared priorities and cohesive delivery across TV, mobile, and web. • Context Over Control: I lead with context, not control — clear intake mechanisms and automated guardrails that protect quality and consistency without slowing teams down. • XFN Force Multiplier: I connect Experience Design, Product, and Engineering so a design system becomes a living design-to-code pipeline, not a static guideline. What I'd bring to this role is a practical ability to turn complex design, engineering, and platform work into lightweight systems teams actually use. My Scale & Impact • Aligned 8 cross-functional TV, mobile, and web teams around a shared UI architecture and reusable design-to-code foundation during the Prime Video design system launch — delivering more consistent customer experiences and less duplicate engineering work through automated, optimized design-to-code workflows: a 90% reduction in design-to-code time and 40% faster cross-client feature delivery. A redesigned intake process cut RFC-to-decision cycle time to 1–2 weeks and brought open fast-track exceptions down to zero. • Kept client, design platform, infrastructure, and reliability teams aligned through lightweight checkpoints and early risk visibility during the Prime Video Ads tier launch, supporting a platform experience for 120M+ users while maintaining 99.99% availability. • Built a clearer intake and execution mechanism for publisher monetization onboarding — clarifying ownership, prioritizing XFN partner requests, and sequencing delivery across product, engineering, operations, and external partners — accelerating partner readiness from 12–18 months to under 7 days. • Transformed fragmented internal developer workflows into a consistent platform delivery model for 1,300+ engineering teams, reducing deployment time from 2 weeks to under 45 minutes. • Used GenAI and automation to build lightweight delivery health signals, cutting engineering overhead and reporting cycles by 40%. The hardest part of this work is rarely the technology — it's helping talented teams align quickly when each group sees the problem differently. I've repeatedly turned complex, fragmented work into shared platforms, clearer execution rhythms, and reusable foundations that scale, which is exactly what excites me about Hawkins: not just a design system to maintain, but a platform for helping design and engineering teams move faster without unnecessary process. Netflix's Freedom and Responsibility and Context over Control match exactly how I operate: give teams the architectural context, milestones, and boundaries they need, then get out of the way so they can run fast. I want to bring that same platform thinking, cross-functional clarity, and delivery discipline to help scale Hawkins into a frictionless foundation for Netflix's product teams.
