Program Management lead for projects building AR experiences on smartphones. Led efforts to complete 4-5 separate launches to major platforms and a proof-of-concept pilot project.

Built and led a community with 4,500+ members to regularly plan and implement creative and fun events around the Bay Area. Specialize in bringing quirky ideas to life with limited budget and resources.Notable events have included:- Squid Games- Real-life Mario Kart- Clue Mystery Party- Iron Chef Offbeat- Offbeat OlympicsI'm open to inquiries about planning fun events.

Brought on to build out and launch new 3D mobile game with potential for VR. Clarified product vision with detailed requirements and wireframes, working closely with the CTO, design, and engineering teams in a fast paced startup environment to launch within 3 months of joining.

Investigated and formulated a systematic framework for incorporating research findings into product development sprint cycles to improve educational efficacy of products.

Worked across cross-functional teams to design and develop new feature sets for products at a growing AR/VR company. Led redesign and process improvement efforts for key company initiatives including revamping the UI for 20+ applications, mocking up a new customer portal for customer retention, and expanding forecasting capabilities with an improved roadmap and process improvements.

Ran research projects through full project lifecycle including conception, protocols development, staff training, classroom implementation management, data coding, and final technical reports submission. Known for finding creative solutions to make new technology work according to project needs (e.g., using VR in classrooms, recording audio and screenplay for computers and tablets, testing and developing assessment platforms).Projects included:GlassLab ResearchMulti-year project to study the development of a game-based assessment using Evidence-Centered Design (ECD) to assess students on hard-to-measure constructs (i.e., systems-thinking, argumentation) using cognitive interviews. See link below.- Led the implementation of the study by developing study protocols and materials, researching and experimenting with various technical set ups, training researchers on using the protocols and technology in classrooms, tracking and troubleshooting field implementations, reporting to principal investigators (PIs), coding different strands of data, and writing sections of the technical report to be delivered to stakeholdersPrincipled Assessment of Computational Thinking (PACT)Multi-year project with numerous project strands to evaluate the implementation of a computer science (CS) curriculum and develop accompanying assessments for high school CS students around the United States. See link below.- Developed the set of CS assessments and rubrics for high school students that were aligned with the ECS curriculum and Computational Thinking standardsExpeditionsProject to develop and pilot a curriculum using virtual reality (VR) in science middle school classrooms to enhance student learning.- Ran study by refining curriculum and protocols, testing and setting up VR equipment, recording classroom implementations, and tracking various strands of dataAdditional notable projects included:- Testing and development of assessment platforms- PROP Cyberlearning- PFACS

Implemented intervention techniques to support children and their families in managing their autism. Challenge was to reduce negative and unwanted behaviors, such as tantrums, and increase desired behaviors, such as social interaction.

Assisted in different projects dealing with the social and cognitive development of children and infants. Sample project was the “Strategic Understanding of Social Intelligence and Emotions” study, which tested whether reading with an emphasis on the characters’ emotions and intentions helped improve social and emotional intelligence in young children.

Built custom WAL (Web Audio Lab) programs according to each language professor’s teaching needs. Programmed using the custom WAL language, produced images from foreign text, and edited audio.

Ran research projects using EEG to monitor brain activity in localized regions during targeted computer-based activities.
