Orchestrating enterprise deployments

Amazon CodeCatalyst was a unified software development service for teams to plan, build, deploy, and manage applications on AWS. I designed 0→1 experiences that helped developers understand what was deployed, where it was running, and how it got there.

Summary

Every engineering team asks the same question: what’s actually running right now, and can I trust how it got there?

I joined CodeCatalyst while the product was still taking shape, designing 0→1 experiences across environments, deployments, and cloud infrastructure. Across these workflows, I kept finding the same challenge: customers didn’t lack tools; they lacked a clear mental model of what was happening underneath.

My work focused on making complex deployment systems easier to understand, track, and trust, from defining how developers understand environments to bringing private infrastructure into their workflows.

Turning a new product into shippable experiences

Starting with the Environment experience, I worked across product and engineering to take new capabilities from early concepts through launch. The work expanded from environment setup and deployment monitoring to release tracking, Kubernetes integrations, and private VPC connectivity.
