Curriculum Vitae
Summary
Over the last 13 years, I've led projects across enterprise sized organizations to small startups, adapting to the challenges and opportunities all along the way. While at Rackspace, I helped build a design system and UI platform that enabled product managers, designers and developers to efficiently and effectively ship features to our customers at scale. As the 2nd hire at ScaleFT, a security startup later acquired by Okta, I built out and improved every layer of our customer experience. This included developer docs, CLI, control panel and native app client interfaces. During my time at Uber, I designed and built platform tooling for Identity & Access Management fundamentals.
