I lead high-performing software development teams, and I teach strategies for improving social wellness at work.

As a consulting Agile Project Manager / Scrum Master, I've helped mission-driven companies solve critical business problems by guiding technology teams to deliver continuous and consistent value.

My mission is to use my professional talents on projects that improve human lives.

My team at Jarvus built a platform for this Philly-based staffing agency that allows independent vets to "shift shop" (open their mobile phones, scan available animal hospital shifts nearby, and choose ones they like based on things like distance, hours, and incentives.) These vets get to make their own schedules and work as much as they like, while still enjoying company benefits.

Important: The suicide rate among veterinarians is high. Anything we can do to make their lives easier is a step towards reducing that rate. If you have a pet, BE KIND to your vet. Check out Not One More Vet for more ways to help.

Slate is an open source K-12 student information system and gradebook designed by and for schools that follow Competency-Based Learning (CBL). As opposed to ambiguous A-F grades, CBL students are graded on individual competencies like the ability to formulate a scientific hypothesis or to state and defend a mathematical solution.

Slate was created with the goal of it being affordable and usable by any school. It powers 10 schools in the Philly area alone. My team at Jarvus is building and refining features that will make it easier to onboard new schools onto the platform, giving us the opportunity help CBL scale.
