Your background as a frontend developer with about 5 years of experience makes you eligible. For your LORs, make sure you check their LinkedIn profiles to confirm that, beyond their job titles, they are truly experts in the field. A LOR from the GM of Engineering, if I may ask, what specific engineering discipline? This person may not be suitable.

MC
Leading the development of a customer acquisition system with over 40 million registrations is ok. Showing over 6 million lines of code changes in the repository can help, but you need to clearly demonstrate that you owned the code. A letter from an executive should also explain how your work directly created business value.

A high salary or other compensation alone is not enough for MC. It needs to be supported with stronger, more relevant evidence.

You mentioned speaking at an event, did you miss some details here? Speaking engagements are acceptable only if they are at top-tier, industry-focused events, where you were invited as a keynote speaker or subject matter expert. You also need to show that you spoke on stage to at least 100 people, and that the audience matched the level of the event.

OC1
This reads more like a description of your responsibilities. In my opinion, implementing a communication system between a Progressive Web App and a native mobile app using WebSockets is not an innovation. It is the implementation of existing solutions.

OC3
Being the sole frontend developer for a customer verification and matching website that helped Company A retain over 9 million customers shows business impact. However, the technical contribution which is your concern here is not substantial enough.

Also, with your listing, you may not meet the requirement of having at least two unique pieces of evidence within an evidence set and for each criterion.

I would suggest taking some time to build stronger, more convincing, and more compelling evidence.

All the best.
