Product management

MIX, augmented reality public art

I am the solo founder building this product, managing a team of 3 freelancers: a designer, an engineer, and a general assistant.

Built product architecture, branding, and final designs.

Currently in development.

Hive Work, data labeling platform for machine learning

I was the product owner for the mobile product, managing a remote team of 3 designers and 4 engineers.

Built designs specific for mobile user experiences. Led adoption of mobile product and built data analytics systems for analyzing user behavior and growth.

Mobile product grew to over 600k total users, going from 0 to 20% of total data labeling workforce over 4 months.

Plaza and Outlet, two marketplace products

I was the product owner managing the team working on both these products. The team included a product manager, 3 designers, 5 engineers, and remote testers.

Directed designs and branding. Built team processes and managed sprints. Prioritized feature development.

Products grew to over 4M downloads.

Kiwi, social question and answer

I was the first member of the product management team, eventually working with one other product manager interfacing between design and engineering teams.

Led design and development of features to improve user safety and user engagement (e.g. location aware questions). Built initial internal processes (design and code reviews, user testing).

App reached #1 in the App Store in 70 countries, totaling 46M downloads.

Local politics and organizing

Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission, Vice-Chair

Appointed by City Council to focus on Transportation Planning Policy as a member of this commission in Durham, NC. Elected to be Vice-Chair by fellow commission members. Commission has 18 members and works with employees in the planning and transportation departments, with City Council, and with County Commissioners.

Found opportunities to streamline process for reviewing new development plans. Worked with commission to write new policies focused on transportation and urban design to send to City of Durham to include in the 2050 Durham Comprehensive Plan.

Bull City Votes, Organizer

Managed a team of 25 out of town volunteers over three weeks, canvassing and driving voters in Savannah for the 2021 Senate Runoff in GA.

Managed lodging and geographic strategies for volunteers. Worked with local organizations to share information and resources (e.g. we started driving voters for other canvassing organizations since they did not have drivers).

Volunteer group provided over 200 rides to the polls and cured 135 ballots. I suspect the counterfactual votes impacted is in the 150-200 range (with plenty of uncertainty).
