Engineering Manager responsible for Shield Threat Protection and Shield ML

As the Performance Product Owner, I am responsible for working across a variety of stakeholders, ranging from senior management to application developers, in order to drive an end-to-end culture of data-driven, highly performant applications. In order to accomplish this, I have worked with senior management to take high-level concepts and translate them into concrete specs that are actionable and deliverable for my engineering team. In order to accomplish this, my work has run the gamut from traditional technical product management (requirement development, feature specs, etc.) to data engineering and model development for predictive analytics.

In addition to being the product owner for my team, I am also the team's data scientist. My data science responsibilities have included developing hierarchical models for predictive analytics to support teams before releasing updates, doing root cause analysis for performance degradation, as well as algorithm design for automated performance testing. These efforts have helped teams understand the impact of development on application performance and prevented performance degradations from impacting end users. Additionally my works has allowed teams to focus on solving their root problem, as opposed to wasting time searching for it.

As a product owner, I was responsible for working across a variety of stakeholders ranging from senior management to application developers in order to create a cohesive development strategy and drive delivery in PlayStation Music and Social. In order to accomplish this I worked across teams and companies to develop realistic roadmaps that delighted customers and set realistic goals to responsibly grow features. By focusing on delighting customers with responsible development practices, my teams were able to consistently meet their OKRs and grow the feature set of PS4.

I was fortunate enough to work with Tom Lee on the Web Product Development class. Web Product Development is an interdisciplinary (Haas and I-School) class focused on leveraging Lean software development practices to develop a user centered web/mobile solution. The students use a wide variety of tool ranging from qualitative interviews to running A/B tests in the wild with their solutions.

As the Mobile Product Manager Intern, I was responsible for working with a diverse group of stakeholders to ensure new releases of the Workday application met both our high user-experience (UX) standards as well as shipped on time. Drawing from my wide range of skills I was able to quickly get up to speed and ship 3 different feature sets. These feature sets were also showcased at Workday’s Rising Event.

As the front-end developer for the Teaching Privacy team I have developed the digital face of one of NSF’s favorite educational projects. By working closely with educators as well as researchers I have created web applications that illustrate the team’s digital privacy concepts to high school and undergraduate students. The project was been so successful that we received 2 more years of funding beyond our initial proposal.

As a part of the California Connects research team I was responsible for directing all aspects of media outreach, ranging from digital/social media to traditional media development/deployment. Additionally I was responsible for managing a team of content providers to effectively accomplish our goals.

The Center for the Collaborative Classroom (CCC) is a non-profit educational publisher that has been conducting research and creating school-based programs that help children achieve academically as well as develop socially. At CCC I coordinated with a 15-member team to improve educational tools for teachers by developing additional tools as well as refining existing products. By focusing on UX as well as user-interaction (UI), our team was able to develop a system that was a key component in securing a 4.2 million dollar contract with an East Coast School District.

I was responsible for managing the organization's website, databases as well as outreach campaigns.
