As a part of the product innovation role, I create feature requests and bug reports to engineers, provide workaround solutions and give feedback to the software product owner. As a team effort, I assist in development of R and Python-based plugins and edit user workspace XML code to repair corrupted analysis workspaces that are then returned back to the user. I provide data analysis demos and training by giving webinars, offering one-on-one user training and live troubleshooting. I contribute to software documentation pages and through conferences, as an exhibitor. Show less
