Oren Shalev, CV

Develop customer-facing features and lead feature design and development. Collaborate across backend, mobile, and UX teams to align on complex architectural decisions and execution plans that ensure high-quality, incremental delivery. Advocate for better DevEx and DevSpeed by identifying technical bottlenecks and introducing modern tooling.

• Before official MCPs introduced to my organization, built simple MCPs, such as for GitHub Enterprise to address code review input in the IDE.

• Close team gaps of regression testing: build missing automation steps and tests, lacking across all front-end teams, to lift the need of manual testing pre- and post-release.

• Mentor a student on their first software engineering project to a successful completion.

• Tech stack: React with micro-frontends, TypeScript, Redux, Styled Components, Jest, Playwright.

Prototype features under consideration to enable XFN teams quickly evaluate feasibility, benefits/drawbacks, interaction patterns, and data quality. On the frontend, spin up React webapps with the UI teams want to evaluate, and on the backend build lightweight endpoints for retrieving production data.

• With manager and teamates in the US, operate independently with multiple teams (Israel, Europe, India), prioritize and scope in order to provide as many teams what they need.

• Introduce team used to fast and lean coding to TypeScript. Teach CSS grid to team, other UXEs, SWEs; give a talk at an internal conference.

• Example 20% project: add dark theme to a popular (>100k MAU) internal product.

Develop user-facing features of an internal mission-critical product, focusing on features with significant front-end content and completing back-end work as needed.

• Tech stack: React (including company transition from classes to hooks), Flow, Hack, GraphQL with Relay

• Use a hackathon to show that adapting the product to mobile requires significantly less effort than the team anticipated. Gain team approval, implement and release.

• Mentor an intern to successfully complete their project and receive an offer of employment.
