Frontend engineer on Tesla’s factory software, also working in Go on the backend.
- Carriers System. Frontend for the rules engine that routes Tesla’s production carriers, from battery packs to car bodies and Optimus. Rules like “CYCLE 5 → cleaning” or “RED body → update downstream system” decide where each carrier goes and what happens next. Used by controls engineers, production planners, and support and integration engineers. As the team’s long-term frontend engineer, in a team of 4–8, moved it from old technology and a dated design to a modern React app, including a Create React App → Vite migration that made builds more than 10× faster.
- Factory software portal. Proposed and built a single entry point for 10+ factory apps, many running 10+ instances, one per factory, each with its own deployment, logs and Grafana. It replaced bookmarked URLs, and tracks downtime against SLAs as it happens, which used to mean reviewing a month of Jira incidents by hand. Built in React and Go.
