As the 1st PM at Captora, I was responsible for the end-to-end product management duties for all aspects of the platform. This included market & customer research, validation, prioritization, feature specifications, delivery, go to market, and much more. Here are some of the highlights (continued from time as APM):* Continued to iterate on my previous releases. As part of my customer engagement programs, I worked directly with clients to increase product adoption, and quickly gathered product feedback to deliver appropriate enhancements to ensure ongoing success.* Led the effort to simplify the product implementation (Go-Live) process. The development of an internal app to accelerate data input, as well as a requirements template document increased coordination between Sales, Engineering, and Implementation teams, leading to 50% faster Go-Lives (60 days to 30 days).* Started a monthly customer newsletter announcing new features & marketing best practices* Recorded instructional videos for important product features and workflows, becoming the most visited section of the Captora knowledge base.* Built a lead scoring widget within Salesforce, utilizing multiple internal and external APIs.* Built internal dashboards to track overall product usage & engagement, as well as customer leaderboards per product module.* Worked with executive team to develop a proprietary digital marketing maturity score, used by sales team to nurture leads, and to demonstrate ongoing ROI for existing customers.* Wrote scripts (python & SQL) to track ongoing customer rankings and Captora’s impact on SEO. CSMs and Business Consultants used these reports to give clients monthly updates on their ROI.

As the 1st PM at Captora, I was responsible for the end-to-end product management duties for all aspects of the platform. This included market & customer research, validation, prioritization, feature specifications, delivery, go to market, and much more. Here are some of the highlights:* Formed the initial backlog of feature requests, technical debt, and other related tasks. As the lead PM, I worked with the various engineering and business units to maintain the prioritization of this backlog. Each product story included full details on what the feature should accomplish (acceptance criteria), and the reasons for prioritization (impact on customers, competitive advantage, etc.).* Led the two largest product releases in Captora's history. These included the formal creation of a Paid Optimization product, as well as critical changes to analytics & reporting, the ability to perform competitive research within the platform, and additional streamlining & automation of landing page creation workflows. KPIs related to these releases:- The all-new integration with Google AdWords resulted in over 150% increase in the advertising budget managed and optimized by Captora's Paid product.- Data improvements to Demand Intelligence and cleaner workflows/increased automation in landing page creation resulted in a 38% increase in the number of weekly marketing campaigns created within Captora.- Additional metrics and a more user-friendly design led to 46% more weekly engagements with the Content/Competitive Research module.* Drove key customer engagement programs to ensure adoption of newly released products such as Paid Optimization, Internationalization, and Advanced Personalization. Trained internal teams and customers on the value propositions and technical details of each, and worked with the CSMs to ensure customers were hitting benchmarks.* Presented multiple webinars for clients & prospects, describing product releases and Captora’s role in the marketing ecosystem

Working on new active authentication systems to help determine when a user's device may have been compromised. I've worked with Prof. Jon Voris on a Machine Learning project, where I implemented various techniques/models like regression, J48 Decision Trees, Multilayer Perceptron, etc to analyze a dataset of mouse movements, clicks, and keypresses in an attempt to uniquely identify each user. We had collected data for several minutes from each sample, and had polled users for their experience level with the program they were using when our data was collected. I found certain trends showing that it was much easier to identify a specific user as an experienced one from the data points, and we are still looking at using different models to help improve the accuracy of our findings. We hope that this research can be used to help create authentication systems to lock out suspected intruders on a given system if they exhibit erratic or extremely unfamiliar behavior per that system.
