Experience

  1. Product Manager, YaleSites PlatformCurrent

    Yale UniversityNew Haven, CT

    • Own the product roadmap and quarterly governance for YaleSites — a shared web platform serving 2,400+ active users across 449 sites at Yale. Facilitate a 10–12 member steering committee of university leaders to align prioritization across a decentralized institution with no central mandate.
    • Manage a collaborative vendor model where Yale units bring outside development partners to build platform features — scoping requirements to ensure work benefits the entire community, not just the sponsoring unit. Shipped 3 major unit-vendor collaborations as platform-wide releases in 2025.
    • Run the weekly agile development loop — backlog triage, ticket writing, sprint execution, QA, and release communication — resulting in 5 major platform releases and 138 bugs resolved in 2025.
    • Oversaw the platform foundation for YaleSites Beacon, an AI assistant built on the YaleSites Drupal platform, demonstrating how a shared platform can support AI-powered innovation while maintaining consistency and governance.

    Yale UniversityNew Haven, CT

    • Mentored junior UX team members, providing guidance on user research methodologies and fostering professional growth.
    • Led the LUX (lux.yale.edu) project as UX lead, facilitating wireframes, requirements gathering, and working with a complex data model.
    • Created and maintained a comprehensive relational database of all 1,500 Yale websites to support data-informed decisions for platform migration.
  3. User Experience Analyst 2

    Yale UniversityNew Haven, CT

    • Redesigned Yale's Single Sign-On system — the most-visited page at Yale, used by 35,000+ community members daily — improving accessibility to WCAG 2.1 AA, reducing password reset steps from 7 to 4, and significantly reducing help desk login escalations.
    • Designed the Yale MFA Opt-In experience for 20,000+ community members — reducing compromised NetID incidents to zero since launch in 2020 by reframing a forced security rollout as an empowering opt-in choice.
  4. UX Designer
