July 2026 - Present
Mithila Stack
Project Manager
In July 2026 I was promoted to Project Manager for the company, and I took it on alongside my engineering work, not instead of it. I now look after several projects at the same time and a team of 15-20 people across them.
A normal week is mostly planning what each team works on next, splitting work so people aren't waiting on each other, and talking to the team often enough that problems come up early instead of the day before a release.
I still write and review code. Staying close to it helps me give timelines I actually believe, and notice when something is harder than it looked in planning.
