I'm an experienced product leader with a track record of scaling businesses, driving strategy, and developing software with a global impact. I'm known for my ability to maintain focus, resolve conflicts, and synthesize viewpoints into rich, coherent solutions. My background has spanned product, engineering, and UX roles at Google, Facebook, Kickstarter, and a number of startups. I've launched products, conducted research, and worked with teams in Asia, Africa, North America, and Europe. In the run-up to the 2018 midterm congressional elections, I took a sabbatical from tech to help a close friend run for Congress. Together, we raised over $1.5M in 4 months, an amount that garnered national attention in media outlets like the New York Times. In 2012, I was awarded a master’s degree in computer science from Cambridge University, where I studied as a Gates Scholar. In 2010, I received my bachelor’s degree in information science from Cornell University, where I graduated summa cum laude. I'm currently pursuing my next role at a mission-driven organization that solves real problems for society.
