Maximized user experience through analysis and interpretation of the company’s mission while pushing the limitations of our technology. Conceptualized, tested and implemented software feature development to afford our production department new ways to generate the highest quality product possible.Meticulously managed production process for each Just Ahead project for the past 2 years. Upon completion of each project, conducted a thorough retrospective analysis of each project in terms of efficiency and cost.

Used tools at my disposal such as very proficient Excel skills to automate repetitive tasks in production processes. This type of improvement allows a product manager to spend time more efficiently while still ensuring a quality product.Ability to utilize a multitude of organizational and analytical tools under the umbrella of a project outline. Used JIRA, SQL and Excel to analyze data, extrapolate actionable steps and communicate to project team members to attain measurable results.Comfortable communicating technical information to engineers and software developers in addition to presenting complex/technical information to laypersons. In the startup environment communicated daily with company CEO, copy editor, writers, and software developers to solve problems in an efficient manner while keeping company and project goals in mind.Generated quality standards for product release concerning overall appearance and user experience of application.
