TechStyle Fashion Group - Senior Software Engineer
Overview
TechStyle has become one of the fastest growing e-commerce companies in history. Five portfolio brands, JustFab, ShoeDazzle, Fabletics, Savage X Fenty and FabKids provide over 4 million VIP members with on-trend fashion at an exceptional value
In a cross-functional role, collaborated with multiple engineering teams to architect, develop and deploy new applications, new features, and enhancements to the company’s e-commerce web applications. 2 daily stand-ups and tickets on multiple Jira sprint boards.
Platform Scaling Strategy
Architected pricing experimentation infrastructure supporting TechStyle’s portfolio brands, enabling high-traffic multivariate testing across millions of VIP subscribers.
The Challenge
Needed a scalable way to test pricing strategies across 4M+ monthly subscribers without impacting core e-commerce performance.
The Solution
As part of a two-engineer team, designed and built TypeScript microservices for multivariate pricing tests, integrated into the existing API layer and deployed for peak traffic reliability.
The Result
$250K revenue lift in 3 days. Successfully handled peak traffic across multiple global brands. Established scalable experimentation framework for ongoing optimization.
E-Commerce Checkout Optimization
Modernized Fabletics’ legacy checkout system, replacing a monolith with a scalable API-driven architecture to reduce lost sales and improve deployment reliability.
The Challenge
Checkout timeouts and legacy monolithic infrastructure were causing revenue loss and limiting feature velocity on a high-traffic subscription e-commerce platform
The Solution
Architected Fabletics’ first API-driven checkout. Introduced resilient error handling to recover failed transactions and implemented automated testing to stabilize deployments.
The Result
$26,000 in incremental revenue generated within the first 48 hours of deployment. Reduced checkout timeouts and improved transaction reliability. Established foundation for SPA migration across brands.
