I've developed and taught a masters course in analytics for the NewStart program at WVU, led CMS migrations with Reveal and VTDigger, coached local startup newsrooms with LION Publishiers and the National Trust for Local News, and helped design the Campaigns feature of Newspack. And I've had the opportunity to help with product, analytics, and meembership efforts a lot of other small, usually local, usually non-profit newsrooms. It's been a fun few years.

We're building the first professional community for product people working in the news. Join us!

Hearken asked me to join their team for the summer of 2019. I implemented product and project management best practices, role and goal setting tools, and coached the team on inter- and intra-team communications – the stuff you've gotta do to have a happy and healthy team.I interviewed current and potential customers, established a product roadmap based on their needs, and lead the implementation of a robust system for tracking analytics and measuring the success of what we built. Fun!

Spirited Media created a new model for sustainable city journalism.

It’s a weird and awesome kind of person who decides to work on a visual journalism team at National Public *Radio*. We’re a team of 15 misfits: hackers and designers and photographers and producers, who make graphics, photography, who do data analysis and reporting, and who create fancy, shiny interactive things for NPR on the web.

Praseos was a consultancy specializing in how to make software: architecture, agile development, hiring, development methodologies, product management, project management, design processes, usability, web standards, and more.

I was the first intern on the news applications team at ProPublica. Some of what I was up to can be found here: http://www.propublica.org/site/author/brian_boyer

Daixo is building the first friendly electronic medical records system ever designed for private practice. I was a founding member of Daixo, and led software development as well as marketing until leaving to pursue my master's degree.

I led all aspects of the product development group at SAVO. Technically, this included architecture, APIs and interoperability, and automated testing, as well as creation of coding standards and best practices. Organizationally, I led the creation and implementation of new practices in project management, hiring, and knowledge sharing.

At kCura, I learned the trade of software development, creating desktop, server, and web applications and working in both consulting and product development. We were early adopters in many technologies and processes, including advanced source control and automated testing procedures, WebDAV and AJAX (before it had a snappy acromyn), and Agile development methodologies.

Lante built dot-com businesses before the dot-com bust. I worked on then bleeding-edge web software. We played ping-pong in our Aeron chairs and used phrases like paradigm shift and e-marketplace without irony.
