Dropbox

Group Technical Program Manager/Team Lead

November 2021 - December 2023

Shipping FE/BE features, optimizing the PDLC to accelerate eng velocity, being a trusted thought partner to every function and cultivating my team of TPMs through mentorship is how I've invested my time while at Dropbox. I've served as the interim product manager for the Search Indexing and Foundations teams while simultaneously bringing organization and technical expertise across a group comprised of 100+ team members across PM, Eng, UX, DS, QA, PMM and CX. Leading a team of TPMs to teach more effective approaches to technical problem solving and business strategy is a critical initiative of mine to allow us to construct mental models that can increase our function's impact at a broader scale across the company.

Google

Program Manager, Search

June 2018 - November 2021•google.com

Evolving a product with over 4 billion daily users is no easy feat and I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to improve the way the world searches. Behind the native Google Search widget lies the Google App available on all Android and iOS devices. During my time at Google, I led the delivery of client-facing features spanning framework optimizations, privacy & trust (e.g., Incognito Mode) and multitasking & resumption (e.g., Tabs) to make the Google App more helpful overall. I also led the Android Google App Release Team, increasing the frequency of binary pushes to the Play Store by shrinking our release cadence from 11 days (bi-weekly) to 5 days (weekly).

CBS Interactive (now Paramount+)

TPM/Scrum Master

October 2017 - June 2018

Being in the golden age of streaming media, I decided to pivot away from aerospace and dive into an industry more aligned with my passions and personal interests: media & entertainment. As a TPM/Scrum Master, I partnered closely with Product (PO), Design and Engineering to optimize CBS.com's video player quality and functionality, a foundational element critical to delivering high quality content to our users. My day to day was comprised of breaking down our product vision into digestible, executable chunks of work while also optimizing eng velocity as I led the team through the various phases of the product development life cycle.
