I am passionate about developing products of all types, shapes & sizes. I am a product manager, strategist, and researcher, with a background in engineering, and experience in web development. I pride myself on my diverse skill-set and ability to find actionable insights through research, formulate a strategy, then communicate it clearly to both engineers and designers.
First product hire at a stealth startup in the e-learning space. Currently doing UX/UI design, creating product strategy & roadmap, doing user research, project management, hiring, and helping my team ship.
Created product vision and strategy for future Honda/Acura vehicles backed by rigorous market research and consumer insights, then advocated for the consumer throughout all stages of product development.
Projects:
Assisted engineering team in development of protective eyewear products – performed quality measurements & analysis (analysis of variation, process capability), created work instructions and BOMs, calculated cycle times for various lean manufacturing processes.
Led a team to transform a small business by developing their E-commerce website. Wrote front-end code, created wireframes, collaborated with designer to develop front-end UI, and created/managed product database (descriptions, technical specs, pricing, photos) for ~10,000 SKUs
I built a mobile-first web app that is a crowdsourced map of free water fountains for cyclists and runners called WaterSpotter. The main idea for this app came from lots of bike rides in Palos Verdes CA where I ran out of water and had to go to the nearest gas station to buy water. I built a landing page MVP to test/validate the idea, then built the app based on all the positive feedback I got.
Tech stack:Ruby on Rails back end, Mapbox GL (Javascript) front end, Postgres db, Heroku hosting, Mixpanel analytics.
