Lead and manage daily research and development activities including (1) gathering broad product specification requirements, and (2) continuously refining and renegotiating these requirements by applying software development best practices informed by deep insight into the most difficult obstacles faced by budding small businesses/entrepreneurs/startups today. This insight is compiled via (3) extensive research on the intricacies and pitfalls of starting and sustainably managing a company, (4) analysis of existing resources for founders/owners/managers provided by the SBA, the FDIC, etc., and (5) creation of custom business datasets built from datasets published by the SBA Office of Advocacy, the US Census, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and other sources.Using areas 1-5 to guide decision-making, (6) produce software development methodology minimizing development cycle overhead and anticipating scalability challenges in distributed systems. Finally, (7) using this methodology, produce wireframes, prototypes, logic flows, and data flows.
