For this home electrification startup, I played a key role in driving growth by working hands-on withcustomers to develop and test functional prototypes. This user-focused approach allowed us togather valuable insights early, helping shape our product to meet real needs effectively.I also led the validation of our alpha product’s technical specs, building a detailed flowchart of theend-to-end data flow. This work helped align our engineering team on development priorities andpotential risk areas, setting us up for a smoother path through the next phases of development.

Formwork Labs is the first accelerator for AEC startups. It is a joint effort by Brick & Mortar Ventures and BuiltWorlds.

Product fellowship where a group of us would meet bi-weekly to discuss approaches to various product problems and exchange advice.

Dado was acquired by Stanley Black & Decker May 2022. Built DADO from idea to conception to being recognized as the “Industry’s Best Search Tool” by the MEP Contractors Association for its intuitive design and time-saving capabilities. In the last six months of my tenure, I helped drive a 60% increase in ARR and user growth by implementing new features that provided more contractors end-to-end features that they could use daily. I supervised a team of five engineers on a 6-week development cadence and managed two UX designers, aligning on scope and the product roadmap through Miro, Figma, and Jira.In addition, I supervised the creation of a patented document import and organization process(Application 63/161,950), taking it from user research and competitive analysis through to technical scoping and marketing. I also identified and executed enhancements to a digital forms feature, leading to a 400% increase in form submissions and 50% increase in digital form user base.Lastly, in this role, I oversaw the development of a 6-month product launch and testing plan, working closely with engineers to recommend impactful features supported by graph database technology with AWS Neptune and Athena.

For this employer, I was a part of a sponsored incubation team in collaboration with MACH49, Ispearheaded product discovery and validation research using Google Sprint and Lean Startupmethodologies. This approach enabled us to quickly iterate and test ideas, ensuring we weretargeting the right solutions for our users.To identify initial proof-of-concept (POC) features, I led a research process that included sending dailysurveys to 35 contractors, conducting focus groups, and piloting the system directly at constructionsites. This hands-on approach gave us real-time insights into contractor needs, allowing us to refineand validate features that aligned with practical, on-site requirements.

For this job, I evaluated the go-to-market (GTM) strategy for a Wi-Mesh product. I directed pilotprograms and maintained close engagement with key customers, delivering detailed benefit analysesthat ultimately drove product adoption. This resulted in the successful installation of the Wi-Meshproduct across 40 job sites within the first year, significantly enhancing connectivity and workflow oncommercial construction sites.I leveraged competitor and consumer insights to refine our product specifications, guided prototypetesting, and managed pilot implementations directly on job sites. This comprehensive researchinformed product improvements and positioned the Wi-Mesh solution to meet real-world constructionneeds effectively. Additionally, I co-authored Patent 11073593, which covers a unique data networkand location system specifically designed for construction job sites, further solidifying our innovationin the industry.

I developed subscription bundles for pay-TV by analyzing subscriber patterns, viewer data, andcost-per-channel metrics, creating insights that highlighted which channels offered the best value interms of viewership versus cost. These insights helped to optimize our pay-TV offerings andsupported targeted decision-making.Additionally, I conducted comprehensive research on competitors, building detailed forecast modelsto predict trends and market shifts. I compiled this data into presentations for internal teams andclients, providing a clear, data-driven foundation for strategic planning and product development.
