  • May 2012 - Sep 2017

  Worked as a solo consultant for several years leading up to Miso in 2017. Some amazing experiences like working on the ground in Uganda and Rwanda on health analytics and learning first hand how to build an IOT product from day zero with factory partners in China. Most of all I spent the bulk of my time exploring the topic of the personal data economy at Intel where I got to work with an amazing set of mentors and friends there, looking at how the personal data we all generate could be applied… Show more Worked as a solo consultant for several years leading up to Miso in 2017.

Taptalk

• Senior UX Researcher and Designer

  • Feb 2015 - Aug 2016

  Crazily one of the fastest product teams I've ever gotten to work with in my career. Onno, Jorn and Leo ran an amazing core team and we could conceive and ship new ideas and features in less than a week. I definitely miss the product and how responsive and personal it became, but I definitely miss working with the entire team there even more.

  • Feb 2014 - May 2015

  I joined the Small Data Lab, led by Deborah Estrin PhD, where I served as a technologist-in-residence working with the different MS and PhD students in the lab on new products and services we could build using small data. It was also an amazing time be in the lab because the core work in small data was colliding with new advancements in deep learning, natural language understanding and RecSys. Andy and I worked on a project leading into his PhD dissertation and became fast friends.

  I joined Metabiota in 2010, when it was still Global Viral Forecasting Initiative, and got the initial R&D underway for an epidemic surveillance system that we dubbed epidemicIQ. The service aggregated hundreds of thousands of news feeds in over 50 languages scanning for any chatter of epidemic outbreaks around the world using HiL machine learning and what was pretty advanced NLP for the time. The system was a solid combination of computational scale and human precision and was a great first… Show more I joined Metabiota in 2010, when it was still Global Viral Forecasting Initiative, and got the initial R&D underway for an epidemic surveillance system that we dubbed epidemicIQ.

  I teamed up with Josh Nesbit, Isaac Holeman, and Nadim Mahmud back when we are all students at Stanford and Lewis & Clark to get FrontlineSMS: Medic up and running. It was a great experience, we got pilots underway in Malawi and Cameroon together and I got a crash course in how to bootstrap a technology startup when money and resources aren't an option.

Dube Technologies

• Boca Raton, FL

• Intellectual Property Analyst

  • Aug 2000 - Aug 2001

  Roger Dube, the CEO, and I basically made a deal in high school that if I could turn around my grades and crush my PSATs, SATs, and APs, I could work at the firm as an R&D and patent analyst. I just wanted a job that wasn't flipping burgers, but Roger not only helped me get on track with school, the entire deal got me to the level that I could go to Cornell on scholarship.
