10+ years building technology products at start-ups and midsized companies with a strong software development and product management background. Worked on product development for large corporations such as the HubSpot, World Bank, Kimberly-Clark, RockTenn, Focus Brands, Jet Airways, Air Canada, and Qantas.
I am passionate about user-centered design and human-computer interaction. I am most at home when working with various cultures, personalities, and approaches, and I enjoy serving as an intermediary and synthesizer between different considerations. I am a realist who makes decisions based on evidence, both quantitative and qualitative. However, I also feel that there is a need to acknowledge the complexity of the human experience.
On a personal level, I am a cultural chameleon, having been raised by missionaries in the Philippines. I once drove a derelict car from England to Mongolia, camping along the way and producing a video series about the experience. I spent this past summer volunteering and teaching vulnerable populations in Mumbai.
