College Board
UX Software Engineer
Feb 2015 – Nov 2016
Served as the engineering bridge between NYC UX and Reston development teams during the 2015-2016 phase of College Board's SAT redesign. Built rapid prototypes for student, educator, and enterprise flows, then translated validated patterns into Apricot components, responsive specs, and implementation guidelines.
Key outcomes
- Reduced design-to-development rework by validating interaction patterns in executable prototypes before handoff across SAT practice, AP Home, and score reporting flows.
- Accelerated cross-office delivery by aligning NYC UX, Reston engineering, and Butler Brothers on technically feasible specs and shared component behavior.
- Helped operationalize Apricot by prototyping reusable components, documenting responsive usage specs, and standardizing navigation, spacing, and typography for consistent implementation.
- Improved mobile-first and accessibility decision quality by translating design reviews into implementation-ready guidance for products used by millions of students and educators.
