    Previously helped Oscar Health Insurance build new tools for their Concierge/Member Services team. Shipped internal workflow to Find Providers and external workflow to show rich Provider view to Members. Redesigned Internal Provider Pages.

    I was part of The Obama White House's United States Digital Service to rebuild Social Security's Disability Claims Processing System from a $300M failure to a $160M system which is live in 7% of cases nationally, and up to 80% in some states.

    Before that, I was an Associate Product Manager (APM) with Marissa Mayer at Yahoo where I worked on Aviate (Android Home Screen), next generation Mobile Search, and the Geo Platform.

    During Internships, I designed the UI and architecture for Deutsche Bahn's Touch&Travel NFC project and managed a mobile app for Disney Cruise Line; in addition to other front/back end engineering, and management consulting internships
