- 2018, worked as a Legal Fellow at the FTC in the office of Commissioner Rohit Chopra
- 2019, began serving as counsel to the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial, and Administrative Law
- Lead the Democrat's congressional investigation into digital markets and lead the investigation into digital markets.

Regulating trillions of dollars worth of industry with only a theoretical understanding of the market, acquired only from a regulatory perspective, does not inspire confidence.
