My question to you is this: what matters most to you and why?
I think that's the staple Stanford essay question, so being able to answer that would definitely help since you're aiming for that school anyway.
But the reason I ask is because although individual aspects of your profile are good on their own (good GPA, good ECs, good career trajectory thus far with that promotion), they don't build up to what I would personally consider a compelling story (I'm not an admissions officer, but hey you put this under Peer Review so I consider your profile fair game).
The biggest challenge, in my opinion, is that it's not easy for me to understand why you did what you've done. If you have a vision/goal, I'm not quite sure the decisions you've made so far all lead you closer to that goal. But that's saying a lot when you haven't even crafted your essays yet. Who knows, you just might be able to put an awesome spin to all the things you've accomplished!
Bottom line is: you've got a good background, and if you're able to tie it all together, you'll have a great story that will bring you to the best schools. Godspeed!
