About

Hi, I'm Allison! I am currently leading an engineering team at Desmos Studio PBC, where we build tools to help students love learning math. With 12+ years in the industry, my career has largely been focused on building teams and products in the EdTech space.

I began my career as a Frontend Engineer at LinkedIn before joining Brightwheel, an early ed startup, as their first dedicated FE hire post-Series A. Over six years there, I transitioned from individual contributor to leading a 15 person team responsible for all their billing efforts. Today at Desmos Studio, I'm focused on leading and growing a team building the user experience outside of the core calculators. I love the "zero-to-one" phase of a startup and the unique challenges of scaling an engineering team.

We’ll be a great match if you’re looking for help with:
* Transitioning from an IC to Manager role
* Hiring, building processes, and collaborating at a startup
* A hiring managers perspective on how to stand out in the hiring process
