I am currently a Product Designer with Pivotal teaching government employees and military members how to effectively and quickly deliver people-centered software through Agile, XP, and lean. I’m an Ex-Political theorist (down the street at Hopkins) that was ready to take a break from theorizing and focus more on directly making things to improve how the government serves people instead. I have consulted for numerous US government agencies including GSA, SSA, USPS, USAF via Kessel Run, and JSOC. Otherwise at work, I’m constantly trying not to check soccer scores while pairing with my design partner.
