O'Neill
Greater New York City Area
I have a passion for building technology products and services that foster rapid growth for institutes of higher education. Working with engineers, product managers, stakeholders of all levels, and front-line users, I enjoy synthesizing their needs and desires into a cohesive vision, forming a strategy to meet that vision, and then executing that strategy with the highest possible fidelity and flexibility.

The best part about my work at Relay GSE is the shared mission - we're all working within our respective areas of expertise to close the opportunity gap, and bring the best education possible to the highest number of students.
