I co-founded and lead Spark Climate Solutions, a science-driven nonprofit dedicated to identifying and mitigating sources of unmanaged climate risk.Spark accelerates progress in emerging, high-impact climate fields. By working directly with scientists, policymakers, and peer organizations, Spark supports the growth of emerging fields with the potential to limit warming, monitor and manage Earth systems risk, and help enable our return to a safe climate. Spark focuses on expanding the portfolio of mitigation and adaptation approaches that enable our return to a safe climate and minimize environmental and social risks along the way.Spark’s first programs focus on large, under-addressed methane areas that currently represent unmanaged risks to our overall climate trajectory, including work on enteric methane mitigation, atmospheric methane removal research, natural systems feedbacks, and additional innovation areas to assist efforts to mitigate super climate pollutants.Spark's work is made possible through support from the Grantham Foundation, Quadrature Climate Foundation, Spitzer Charitable Trust, Astera Fund, Additional Ventures, and additional generous and audacious funders.

Started and co-led U.S. Digital Response's elections-related efforts, working directly with local and state election offices, and NGOs that serve them, to ensure that they have the products and technical expertise they need to most-effectively run elections. https://www.usdigitalresponse.org/electionsThis program later became part of the US Alliance for Election Excellencehttps://www.techandciviclife.org/us-alliance-for-election-excellence-launch/

I led the Payments Experience group at Stripe, which is a set of 4 teams working together to empower merchants to easily provide great online checkout experiences for their customers. I led our product response to, and user migration for, the Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) regulation in Europe, at times involving 100+ Stripes across many teams. We brought the new Stripe Checkout from early concept to general availability and early adoption, launched the new Payments APIs, built our Mobile Authentication SDKs, and built tooling to help users manage their migration. I simultaneously also led engineering for Stripe Terminal, a set of 4 teams building our in-person point of sale developer platform. During my time on the team, we brought the product to general availability in the US, and readied the product for international expansion.

Co-founded VotePlz, a non-partisan non-profit, to increase voter turnout for the 2016 election, particularly among millennials, by easing the voter registration process, and building tools to help citizens make a plan to vote, prepare their ballot, and find early voting information.
