I build interfaces people depend on. For three and a half years at Ad Hoc that meant HealthCare.gov’s plan enrollment flows, used by millions of people every open enrollment and held to WCAG and Section 508. Before that, mission-critical C++ at Raytheon. Now I’m at Livefront, a digital product consultancy building intelligent products, platforms, and agents for companies like CVS, Southwest Airlines, and General Mills.
Projects
