I moved to the product team to help bring product strategy and processes to UtilityAPI's largest engineering team. Established new product-engineering team, set up Agile processes, and ran best-practices product operations. Developed strategically-aligned product roadmap to address greatest pain points for targeted customer segments.

I joined the team to operationalize solutions architecture processes into a scalable, standardized function at UtilityAPI. Established standard solutioning processes, client-facing communication, and cross-team engagement, shifting the organization from siloed sales and solutioning strategies to scalable cross-functional collaboration. Led educational and onboarding sessions, and acted as an internal resource for all product functionality.

Contract project to define community management needs and assess solution options.

I moved to New York and launched Parcel Perform's North America sales organization. I owned all technical account management for North American customers, trained the new sales team in product and internal process, and developed a strategy for regional product localization. - Launched company's North America sales organization, hired and trained team, owned all product responsibilities in region. - Owned solutions consulting for all pre- and post-sales implementation work for regional customers, exceeding quotas and leading company sales performance metrics. - Created product localization strategy for North America from user research with new and prospective customers. - Liaised between commercial and development teams to coordinate feature releases and conduct user research.

I ran product for Parcel Perform's largest development team, and helped build software to power delivery experiences for leading global ecommerce companies, all while navigating moving to a new country and surviving the pandemic. - Owned product strategy and execution in multiple areas: integrations with 1000+ logistics carriers, booking shipments with carriers, and analytics. - Conceptualized upgrades to enable flexible, user-configurable analysis and insight generation. - Prototyped shipment booking platform in partnership with key customers and logistics carriers. - Technical account management and relationship building with the company's largest customers.

I was honored to join the first iteration of WISE's advisory board and support the organization in growing within the Northeastern University and Boston communities.

The finale of my career within Northeastern University's entrepreneurship community was leading IDEA, the school's venture accelerator with nearly 500 supported startups founded by students, alumni, faculty, and staff. - Set vision to invigorate and diversify the organization, bringing accessible, exciting, low-ego entrepreneurship to all who wanted to participate. - Redesigned the organizational structure from the ground up to improve clarity, accountability, and growth opportunities, and hired a team of 30 to make it happen. - Built process to ensure long-term stability and success of the organization. - Fundraised, established corporate and private partnerships, and represented IDEA within the Northeastern University and Boston communities. - Oversaw the deployment of $250K in grants to seed-stage startups.

I represented Contrary Capital within the Northeastern University community and referred investment opportunities to the fund.

As a part of iRhythm's Software Quality Assurance team, I performed verification testing of various products, exceeding regulatory standards for medical device hardware testing. I designed and implemented an automation platform in Python to reduce the time required for testing by 75% of the original.

Summer internship to support investment operations in Spring Mountain Capital's PE fund. Built tools to speed up internal processes, researched investment opportunities, initiated website redesign projects.

I co-founded Generate, a student-led product development studio to expand the Northeastern University entrepreneurship ecosystem. Entrepreneurs needed technical support and education, and engineers needed projects to practice their skills and understand the business considerations in building. We built the organization from the ground up, raised $500k in funding, led a team of 25 through two years and eight client projects, and successfully handed it off to new leadership. The organization thrives today, with hundreds of team members, dedicated space on campus, and expanded programs to further support the Northeastern community.

IDEA runs a specialized fund to support early-staging ventures in prototyping and validating their businesses. The team behind investment decisions was looking to improve their technical sophistication, and I was brought on to make it happen. I expanded the due diligence process to more rigorously assess technical feasibility and testing plans, and resources to support entrepreneurs in learning prototyping as the beginning of the product development process.

I completed two projects during a six-month internship at Amazon Robotics. 1. I created an application for processing hardware log files to analyze performance and identify issues with an experimental system for dramatically improving the speed of scanning inventory barcodes. The application periodically scraped hardware files, cleaned and structured the data, and create database entries for analysis. Built using Java and Bash. 2. I developed and assembled an electronic system to detect objects at packing stations in warehouses as a measurement of the current backlog on a specific station. When the backlog reached a minimum or maximum threshold, relevant personnel were alerted in order to make adjustments. I tested the system in a live warehouse and created a plan for improving the system in subsequent versions, including the addition of data capture to analyze event timing.

I was the founding member of the Sherman Center's operations team. I worked with the program manager to establish relationships with on-campus organizations, and solidify the Sherman Center's positioning as the nexus of engineering and entrepreneurship at Northeastern University. Designed and executed a social media campaign to reengage the Sherman Center community and improve event and programming participation. Planned and facilitated technical workshops and speaker events in collaboration with Northeastern University organizations and offices.

Designed and developed a product to trigger photonics hardware devices through TTL voltage signaling. Projected $1M in additional revenue through this product. My work included developing device firmware, implementing a simple text-based user interface to enable non-technical users to control connected hardware, and conducting compatibility and repeatability tests.

Operations, event management, and marketing for TechHub Somerville.

Operations and customer service aat a 3D printing and laser cutting studio. Consulted clients on proper design strategies, and operated machines for client builds.

Provided golfers a positive customer service experience, and washed their golf carts afterwards. Various maintenance and landscaping activities.
