The MIDAS touch. Egerdal helped lead the redesign of the SEC.gov website while also moving it to the cloud. And she led the design and development of the web front end for SEC's Market Information Data Analytics System, which combines advanced technologies with empirical data to promote better understanding of markets. In just two months, often working nights and weekends, Egerdal delivered the MIDAS visualization tool and saved the agency tens of thousands of dollars.
