CIO at Summit Public Schools

Product Lead at Outschool

I had an amazing time working with a team of PMs, researchers, designers, and engineers to help kids and teens love learning.

I started at Outschool in 2020 as one of the first PMs, where I helped craft the product team culture along with leading our learner-focused products. Building products for kids was a blast - some particular highlights out of the things I worked on:

• Founded the initial Learner Product Group, growing it from single pod of 5 to a team of 20, including hiring and managing two PMs
• Launched learner-led class discovery, generating over $4M in bookings/year
• Proposed and launched Outschool Groups, interest-based social networks for kids aged 8-15, and Outschool's first mobile app.
• Collaborated closely with Trust & Safety and Legal teams to ensure learners were safe on Outschool, including introducing content moderation & administering our 100k+ account Zoom infrastructure
• Led weekly PM team training and created PM leveling rubric

I worked with a team of 12 fantastic engineers and designers to build and grow IFTTT’s consumer products on iOS, Android, and the web. I headed up IFTTT's product roadmap, growth, metrics & user research, and day-to-day process.
