He is currently product lead for COVID-19 features at the Office of Digital Innovation of the state of California, responsible for California’s pandemic website. Last year he built a product team at PathCheck Foundation, a volunteer open-source nonprofit privacy-first pandemic solution platform for COVID-19, now focusing on vaccine distribution. He consults on product and UX leadership at Design in Product, where he also hosts a community that explores the overlap between UX design and product management.
