A stalled initiative. Six weeks to production.
Expedia engagement through Pariveda · 2010–2012
Context
A customer-facing Expedia initiative had been in development for roughly two years when I took over the work.
Challenge
The team needed to turn an extended development effort into a deliverable product while working with technology that was unfamiliar to its members.
What I did
I led a five-person team, used an early cloud architecture, and trained the team on the stack. I brought technical direction and delivery responsibility together so the group could learn the system while moving it toward production.
Result
We reached production in approximately six weeks from my taking over the initiative. The work was broadly launched on Expedia.com.
What it demonstrates
Rapid execution under ambiguity: providing a technical path, developing the team’s capability, and turning stalled work into a production outcome.
