Joined OnDeck to validate and incubate my startup idea. OnDeck has 1500+ fellows who have started 400+ companies and raised $250M from incredible investors.

Led the Data (Analytics/Machine Learning) and Settlements product areas from 0 to launch, processing billions of rows of data, and addressing $100+ million potential revenue. 

Established a product strategy, roadmap, and vision for transactions services and ML-driven surge pricing optimization models for curb parking and corridor congestion management, which is a core leg of the company’s overall revenue strategy. Prototyped our first forecasting model using Python, PostGIS, and SQL. 

Led and drove the technical data discussion with Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LA DOT). LA DOT published my analysis of billions of rows of mobility data in their Dockless Year One Report and made the deployment and trip data available online.

Lacuna's investors include Playground Global, a VC-firm specialized in robotics and artificial intelligence, founded by Andy Rubin with tech giants as their general partners.

As the 13th employee and 2nd Product Manager who double-dutied as a Product Marketing Manager on the team, I led the development, marketing, and launched ML-driven mobility data analytics products for a GovTech 500 startup driving $XX million in contracts. StreetLight powers more than 6,000 global projects every month for Major Department of Transportations, Cities, and enterprises such as Uber, Ford, Spin, BCG, and Bloomberg.

Launched industry's first machine-learning predicted Average Daily Vehicle Traffic (AADT 2019), bicycles, and pedestrians counts for any roads in the United States. Launched Home and Work Analytics and delivered 21% growth in user sessions.

I get my best product ideas from talking to users. Notably, I conducted user feedback and training sessions with 50+ engineers at the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) to build product requirements, critical for winning the company's first $X million recurring annual contract.

Analyzed and researched financial data, investment opportunities and prepare financial projections. Helped cold calls prospects, which toughens me up hearing lots of NOs. Every No is a step to getting a Yes.

At the age of 21, I managed To-Go Ware business operations and finances while attending graduate school full time. I created the company's financial plan (P&L, proforma), streamlined the supply chain process, designed new product lines, and planned for market expansion resulting in an increase in revenue by 25%. To-Go Ware was acquired by ChicoBag, a leader in the reusable lifestyle industry.
