Since its founding in 1701, Yale University has been dedicated to expanding and sharing knowledge, inspiring innovation, and preserving cultural and scientific information for future generations.

I am a passionate and experienced technology enthusiast with a background in product management, sales, and software engineering. Most recently, I was the product lead for a brand new mobile IP for Glu Mobile. My passion is making cool technology that just works. I have a deep and active technical background as well as customer facing sales experience. My specialty is understanding technology and presenting it in a way that the customer can easily understand and use for a great experience. Previously, I worked for Zynga as the studio product manager lead in charge of CastleVille Legends (mobile and web) and FrontierVille (web only), owning the feature and content roadmap and all revenue and game metrics. Prior to that, I was a sales rep for Microsoft's data center products, covering the NY Metro mid-market accounts, where I helped my customers' top technical leadership lower costs and secure data centers through Microsoft's security and management solutions. I also spent over five years as a software engineer tackling the challenge of designing and building easy to use hardware design and verification software.
