I worked together with a software engineer, another prototyper and a team of visual designers to create an iOS navigation app that was meant to show "the art of the possible" for what could be accomplished with the Mapbox stack. We incorporated our maps, directions, search and augmented reality experience into one app that would show our customers (and ourselves) how all of these things would operate together. This app was used for design, sales, client presentations, trade show presentations and dogfooding.We eventually focused our efforts on defining an in-dash experience for our upcoming work with the automotive industry. To facilitate this, we reengineered our prototype to work on an iPad. This prototype was used to showcase our capabilities to automotive companies including GM, Toyota and BMW.In addition to designing and prototyping, I lead efforts to define product requirements and build directional consensus for the map animation system and the turnkey UI system for the maps and navigation SDKs.In spring 2020 I took up the opportunity to lead our team’s operational planning for the first half of 2021. This required cross-team collaboration, working with other team leads on the larger navigation product roadmap and coordinating our efforts to define our strategic investments and headcount.

Expanding on my work at Uber, I created a design tool that would allow us to visualize our navigation data anywhere on the planet. This tool simulated route driving and provided playback controls. This allowed us to highlight and replay specific areas of a route to help refine our design and correct edge cases. Eventually we built a navigation data quality assurance tool using this platform. We were able to fold this visualization tool into a process for correcting our map data and fine tuning our routing algorithms.

I built high-fidelity prototypes for the driver experience team. Our team of designers, cartographers and researchers worked together to define the seamless in-app navigation experience for Uber drivers that exists today. I produced a working navigation app by combining Mapbox's GL JS product with our in-house directions API. We used this to develop and test our designs, animations and interaction patterns.Later, I incorporated this prototype navigation app into a system for conducting research in the field with our drivers.Once our design direction was moving forward I took on technical direction for moving the map animation system that I developed in JavaScript to our native map display stack.Eventually I stepped in to help the software engineering team by delivering production code for the map animation system in iOS and helped to direct the porting of this code for Android.

I built prototypes to enable the UX design team to see their designs working on various platforms including web, mobile and TV. These prototypes were then used to support the Product Management and Consumer Insights teams during qualitative testing and focus group research.I used my experience with frontend and backend systems to build prototypes that included real data. This technique made it possible for our team to test concepts with customers using their actual user profiles and viewing preferences. This level of realism allowed us to skip over a lot of the table setting and get straight to the research questions at hand.
