MOGL Measurement & Attribution - The group听built the Sigma Computing dashboard and visualized the attribution findings, translating Snowflake model outputs into charts that made the story clear. By comparing first-touch, last-touch, and time-decay models, we showed how relying on a single model misrepresents channel performance and leads to misallocated budget.听

BillaHealth -听Patients are often expected to navigate complex healthcare systems, understand dense medical information, and advocate for themselves with limited support. BillaHealth addresses this by using research on healthcare inequities, communication barriers, and patient self-advocacy to simplify medical information, guide users through healthcare interactions, and provide tools such as question prompts and clear explanations of key health concepts.听
