Currently

These days i’m spending my day hours as an Engineering Manager for a Growth team at Pinterest. I’ve spent the last 3.5 ish years of my career here - mostly as a full stack software engineer thinking about how to make businesses successful on the platform while not getting in the way of users. Just before Pinterest I spent a glorious few weeks nerding out in Brooklyn at the Recurse Center - you should too! Seriously, you should too. Ask me about it.

Pre-tech life

I’m a big fan of personal reinvention and evolutions. After graduating from Duke with a Masters in Economics, I worked in International Development running the data side of field experiments and answering questions like “did all this money we spent make any difference at all?” (spoiler alert: sometimes). Most recently at the World bank. It’s all related.

Loves

I have a passion for analytics and data as a tool to help us get a sense of the world around us. I love building things that illuminate what’s typically unseen, using tech for good and generally advocating for equity. Other things I love: Beyonce, cats, coffee, (bi)cycling, social justice, building community.
