At MGH, I am part of the Knowledge and Learning Technologies group within the Lab of Computer Science. We use open source software and hardware technologies to build solutions for groups within the insitution. Currently, I am working on projects for the Learning Lab and Simulation Center and the MGH General Medicine Division.

We are a group of volunteers who set up computer labs using donated hardware and free and open source software in areas where kids have no other access to technology. We have set up five labs in Mexico, one in Argentina, and are currently working on an additional lab in Mexico and labs in India and Africa. I was elected to the board in August 2011, served as Vice President from October 2010 - September 2012 and am currently President.

At Yahoo!, I was part of the Tiger Team in the office of the CTO. We were deployed to work in three to six month cycles on the highest priority projects at Yahoo! Prior to joining the Tiger Team, I was part of the user experience and design team for our B2B advertising products. I learned about the UX process and how to build effective prototypes with cutting edge tools.

Also at Yahoo!, I was heavily involved with Yahoo! Women in Tech, a grass-roots employee organization, focused on helping women succeed in their careers at Yahoo! by providing inspiration and support for its employees and the next generation of technical women. I started the chapter in Southern California and led the group from April 2008 until my departure in May 2011. At that time, the group consisted of over 140 members and fourteen volunteer committee members.

Working at CTRL, I balanced project management for clients, including deliverables and timelines, with team building through training, mentoring, and collaboration on open source software. I used waterfall and agile software development methodologies to gather requirements, architect systems, and code applications for clients.

Through independent consulting, I have learned to build web sites within new frameworks (Zope and osCommerce), including modular extensions written in Python and very complex PL/SQL functions.

At TruePricing, I got to experience the rise and fall of a start-up company and used Flash to create an AJAX style web user interface before AJAX was an option.

As a developer at ArsDigita, I was inspired by a management team of all engineers. I worked in a small team to launch an on-line fundraising system that allowed nonprofits to manage matching, challenge, and direct donation campaigns while also being given the privilege to teach CS 199 at UCLA (Developing Web Applications for Software Engineers).

At CIMI, I started building database-backed web applications, most notably "Survey Builder" which is much more than just a polling machine and has proven to be extensible enough to continue to be in use at UCLA today.
