Started 6+ month project to make TPT School Access work better for districts, which unfortunately got cancelled after TPT was acquired. Required re-architecting fundamental assumptions of TPTSA, as well as building new functionality. Led high level planning, discovery, and design, and picked up important pieces like data modeling myself. Supported other engineers with delegated projects. Prioritized getting a working beta early on while making progress towards the end goal, and got the beta ready for user testing in Q1 2023 right before the project was cancelled.

Supported launch of Flex catalog for TPT School Access, helping project get back on track by working with engineering project lead to parallelize the work more. Reached 40+% adoption, giving teachers access to high quality resources for free
