Life is rich and there is so much to learn 🤔🌳😎. ## Work Experience ### Product Privacy for Siri and AIML @ Apple Jan 2023 – Present | Cupertino, California, United States Enabling privacy-centric features for innovative AI and Machine Learning products. ### Sr. Technical Program Manager @ Apple Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 | Cupertino, California, United States Global regulatory, digital ethics, strategy, and special projects for Apple Maps. ### Technical Program Manager @ Apple Jan 2017 – Jan 2021 | Cupertino, California, United States Data strategy at Apple scale - building incredible maps for 200+ countries. ### Full-Stack Software Engineer @ Educents Jan 2015 – Jan 2017 | San Francisco Bay Area Educents is the first online marketplace for educational products and resources. As the first engineering hire, I worked alongside the CTO and founders to grow the company from 12 to 40+ employees, raise a $3M seed round, $15M series A, and 4X our revenue. I was intimately involved in growing our dev team, building our culture, finding key new growth opportunities, and modernizing our tech stack. ### Tech Co-Founder @ BrightLoop Learning Jan 2013 – Jan 2014 | Greater Boston Area BrightLoop is a K-5 education start-up working to improve education by making teacher's lives easier through in-the-moment note capture. In our short run, we shipped an alpha and beta prototype, 10X our active/engaged users, raised 100K+ in investment, defined our core business metrics, adopt agile, and got into the ImagineK12 accelerator (now part of YC). Unfortunately, many start-ups fail and ours fell into that category. There's a lot to learn from these experiences, and I'm happy to share my thoughts on what did and didn't work! ### Independent Consultant @ [Various] Jan 2013 – Jan 2014 Consulted with various small businesses and start-ups, helping them build out a crucial portion of their MVP to help secure their next round in funding. I would do fast, targeted co-design sessions followed by quick iterations to deliver results and minimize cost. Notable work from this time period: RocksBox (https://www.rocksbox.com/) * As they were expanding past their first 100+ customer-mark, RocksBox hired me to build out a comprehensive internal data-analytics platform and recommendation engine. They then used this to speed up key company processes (shipping, receiving, and curation) by 4X-6X allowing them to stay lean while they grew, and secure a $1.5M seed round within the year. ZappRx (https://www.zapprx.com/) * Trained existing team in AngularJS and finished first-stage tablet + mobile prototype of their app, leading to a stronger pitch and successful $1M series A in the following months. ### Program Manager @ Microsoft Jan 2012 – Jan 2012 | Bellevue, WA As a PM intern, I was given two options: work on a small piece of an existing product, or develop something totally new and open up a new opportunity for the company. I chose the latter, and did a full product development cycle for a new feature in Bing Maps: leading to the creation of "en-route search", later released by Bing and soon after copied by Google. Performed all aspects of PM from initial concept research to market surveys to competitive research to company stakeholder buy-in to detailed product specs, and got the feature adopted for inclusion in the full-scale release to Bing Maps (http://www.bing.com/maps/) ### Product Designer (Intern) @ Noribachi Jan 2011 – Jan 2011 | Albuquerque, New Mexico As an intern, I spent 1/2 my day on the manufacturing floor, building & shipping LED lights to customers: doing QA, machining, electrical wiring, and process optimization. Gained experience in inventory-management and manufacturing process. In the rest of the day, I designed the interaction and finished the electrical system for ‘ReVerb’, a $2,500 free-standing solar-powered speaker to build a works-like, looks-like prototype the company could take to customers and use to make pre-launch sales. I also worked as part of a team to start the spinoff business ‘Solar Distinction’, a solar panel company that focuses on the aesthetics and customization of solar panels. Managed the supply chain and led the conceptual product development branch. ### Product Designer (Intern) @ Rural Kenya Jan 2011 – Jan 2011 | Western Kenya I took a semester off of school, and moved to Kenya to work as an ethnographer and independent designer. I built context-sensitive solutions for a rural community: understanding local needs and adapting peanut-sheller and charcoal-biomass technologies to be manufactured with local material constraints. At the same time, I partnered with a local grassroots organization to help 3 individuals start lifestyle businesses to generate income outside of farming. I also worked with a local community leader to build his vision of a children's after school “creativity, entrepreneurship, innovation” ("ICE") program. Together, we gave 80+ children each week the chance to play, be creative, develop much needed self-efficacy as young adults and future entrepreneurs. The education system in Kenya is very rigid, strict, and dominated by years of colonialism - but the people, as you and me, and every single person in the world - are smart, intelligent, and capable of being successful and entrepreneurial. There just aren't any tools, inspiration, or mentorship to help individuals or children learn their own strengths and believe in themselves - and that is what we aimed to do. It was one of the most meaningful, and impact-ful things I have ever done, and I would go back in a heartbeat if I had the chance to continue the work. ### Software Engineer (Intern) @ Xyratex Jan 2010 – Jan 2010 | Fremont, CA Wrote control algorithms for hard-drive automation equipment. Aided company in transitioning to a new automation controller through technology development and employee tutorials ### Interaction Designer (Intern) @ ZURB Jan 2009 – Jan 2009 | Campbell, CA "Don't talk to me until you have 40 different sketches" was the work-ethic I worked under at ZURB. Over a summer, I did nearly a thousand wireframes and learned the essentials of UI/UX and rapid prototyping with MVC frameworks like Ruby on Rails. ZURB is a tightly-woven, fast-paced, 10-person team of interaction designers and strategists helping companies design better. The built foundation, which pre-dated bootstrap. ## Education ### BS in Robotics Franklin W.
