Building on my longtime civic tech experience to unlock $100B in unclaimed benefits for low-income Americans.

I help 2.5 million Californians who are eligible for foodstamps (SNAP!) but not enrolled. Using reliable technologies like Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL, I'm working with clients, counties, community-based organizations, and the State of California to improve how government services are delivered. - Craft new features that help users more easily navigate the process of applying for and keeping their benefits. This includes things like submitting documents, dealing with call centers, and submitting reports.- Build new features that help the helpers: community-based organizations like food banks, and internal government staff who process applications.- Write automated tests and develop monitoring strategies to ensure a high level of service quality.- Implement minimal features to maximize learning, and then harden features to scale when we know they work.
