a peek behind the screen

Roots

A South Florida native, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Florida with a bachelor's of science in telecommunications: media and society along with a minor in innovation and entrepreneurship.

My past experiences have helped me build a wealth of knowledge and skills working at the intersection of people, product, design, marketing and technology - from which I’ve nurtured my passion for building and scaling innovative, human-centric technology globally.

Innovation and Entrepreneurship

My startup and entrepreneurial roots go back to the early days of powering up AOL and redesigning MySpace pages in 2005. I was coding HTML and CSS with no idea of how the future of the internet would evolve into today. As a child of the Millennial generation, surfing the internet became second nature. I learned how to code just as quickly as I learned my A,B,C's.

I live in a world that constantly and effortlessly shifts and reshapes as entrepreneurs bring new innovations to market. I eagerly watch as we take a mobile-first plunge into an endless stream of opportunities that we continue to innovate across all walks of life.

Right now, I'm exploring the cozy streets of San Francisco, California - surrounded by some of the brightest minds of our time, building great products across all digital mediums. I strive to constantly learn and develop my skills to better understand the evolution of human experiences in a mobile dominated era and what makes people click.

Design and Human Experience

Most recently, I’ve spent majority of my time building and shipping mobile and web products, with data, design and human experience in focus. I have a keen curiosity for how we can use technology for good to make human lives better and how we can scale these solutions . I value good design that creates efficiency and delights, balanced well with accessibility, security and consumer safety.

Product

My opportunities in product development have provided me with a vast range of experiences and insights across technical development, good design, delightful human experiences and scalable growth.

From qualitative user research, analyzing data patterns, writing user stories, curating product specs, and millions of API calls later, I have dipped my toes in the challenging, yet rewarding waters of product development. In this, I have uncovered my truest passion: humans and what captures our attention.

Personal Curiosity

At my core, I am a continuous learner and forever curious about how new technologies like AI, Machine Learning and AR/VR will impact the world. I am interested in the way they support and enhance human life, create economic opportunity and make the impossible, possible. I am constantly exploring new ways we can combine good design with disruptive innovation to enhance day-to-day lives to create new experiences, opportunities and time for millions of individuals at scale.

I hope to play a leading part in the next wave of technology and revolutionize how the world continues to experience, create and learn. Eager to share this journey with you.
