Professional Work
I have a breadth of experience producing digital tools, often as a product owner, project manager, and UX team-of-one. I work in the agile development environment. I'm such an advocate of the agile process I've driven it myself and continually guide new team members on how to work agile.

Worked with teams to develop and deploy regular enhancement deployments to mission critical software platforms that comply with payment card industry standards of code quality, performance, and security.
Established and evolved broad product development roadmaps from early market research, through annual capital requests, and communicating to stakeholders through the development process.
Refined roadmaps on an ongoing basis using analysis and observing shifting market dynamics.
Created and presented product visions to executive stakeholders to secure development funding using on market research, client feedback, and other analysis done by myself and team members.
