Founding member of the Growth Acceleration Product team. Our main project is building an end to end product data and digital engagement platform across the entire product portfolio in order to power and accelerate GTM actvities. This involves building a data platform culture on teams that don't necessarily have a history of measuring things, rolling up my sleeves to build BI dashboard prototypes and demo them to customers and internal stakeholders, and conducting ad hoc market analysis.I've also been fortunate to be involved in the evaluation and commercialization of AI copilots for three of our products. Gen AI is a strange and fascinating space...

Lucky enough to get to partner with startups to do cool stuff.

My major project in this role was overseeing the development and launch of a new content management system for the core "Product Ratings and Reviews" product that coordinates the annual processing of over 6 billion characters of natural-language text in 30 languages. This system was built on AWS using an ember.js frontend (which seemed like a good idea at the time) and a spring MVC backend, and utilizes a lot of cool AWS technologies such as SWF. I directed the work of a team of 5 engineers and one designer during this project.I also directed a team of 3 data scientists to implement a machine learning system in order to scale our text processing capabilities more efficiently. This system was crucial to the company's expansion and remained a critical piece of the platform after the company re-privatized and sought efficiencies of scale (several years after my departure).

I solved a variety of operational challenges in this role. I transitioned the Content Operations team (supporting the "Product Ratings and Reviews" product) away from relying on reports generated on a daily basis via Microsoft Excel to accessing the same data via a web front-end. I wrote all of the perl ETL scripts to populate this new application's database and coded the front end in the PHP Codeigniter MVC framework using AWS cloud computing resources. This application eventually became a full-featured BI tool serving the needs of over 300 internal users and admins and serves over half a million impressions per month.Aside from this, I also performed capacity modeling and demand forecasting for a 200-person operations team.
