The Problem

The firm was scaling fast, and was looking to update its internal systems to keep up. Pre-litigation, paralegals, and attorneys were all working from different sources of truth, reduing operational efficiency.

What I Did

Redesigned the firm's workflow from the ground up. Ran cross-team needfinding, identified three critical bottlenecks, then built and launched a unified case management system covering the full lifecycle. Integrated AI to accelerate filings through automated case data extraction.

Impact

150%+ increase in quarterly case filings
$600K+ revenue from workflow improvements
0 recurrence of prior filing errors

Engineering Learning Consultant

Stanford · Department of Engineering

Jan 2024 – Sep 2025

The Problem

Engineering tools like AI, Figma, Code, and CAD are powerful, but the starting learning curve stops most people before they ever get going. The challenge was to make these tools accessible to anyone interested in engineering.

Stanford hero

What I Did

Owned the CS and design engineering verticals. Designed and delivered 25+ workshops, each built from scratch with no assumed starting point, iterated through dry-runs with researchers, and produced into video curriculum for Stanford Engineering's global site. Ran open consult hours for founders, researchers, and students across disciplines.

Impact

25+ workshops to 500+ attendees
120K+ viewers on Stanford Engineering
4+ workshops per quarter

BCG Digital Ventures · L.A. Kings Partnership

June – September 2023

The Problem

People in underserved communities wanted to be healthier, but felt overwhelmed before they started. The barrier wasn't motivation, it was the front-loaded complexity of figuring out what to do.

BCG hero

What I Did

Ran the full product cycle from research to stakeholder pitch. Conducted user interviews, identified core frictions, then designed Seceo: a nutrition app that removes the planning burden by calculating small daily targets. Built end-to-end flows, high-fidelity prototypes, and a pitch deck covering product concept, business model, and launch strategy.

Impact

Full product research → prototype in one summer
Pitched to BCG DV + L.A. Kings stakeholders
