As the leader of a 10+ person full-stack software development team in the Portfolio Analytics Group, I was responsible for strategically expanding and optimizing the systems that calculated financial analytics for over $9 trillion in positions across 100+ institutions, with a particular focus on compute-intensive, option-embedded fixed income securities. BlackRock rapidly expanded during this period to become the world’s largest asset manager, acquiring several diversified companies that increased headcount by 20 times. Balancing the incessant need to adapt to growth with the importance of timely delivery, I successfully integrated multiple new asset class capabilities while maintaining team cohesion and preserving the company culture.

Children’s Progress was a provider of web-based, adaptive psychophysical and academic tests for primary school students, later sold to NWEA. As one of the startup’s principals, I was responsible for rapidly establishing and expanding the product portfolio, beginning with a conceptual prototype.
