Client A* Authored a 54-page discovery document for Private Client A’s product and market fit, where we defined the problem space for their clients with Salesforce plugins who wish to expand into the AWS, GCP, and Azure marketplaces and manage the complete marketing pipeline across platforms from the Private Client A’s platform, and explored the available solution space for their cloud-based platform.Client B* Led team authoring a proposal for a complete web platform that would integrate with, and ultimately expand upon, the client’s existing IoT APIsClient C* Drove product development on the client platform to deliver each fixed-bid contractual milestone on time* Reduced transaction abandonment by 24% by implementing UX improvements across transaction types* Implementation of Document AI agent, which was empowered to decide & report possible issues to users in real time, led users to self-correct issues with 74.9% of uploaded documents & an overall 13% drop in staff-initiated transaction correction requests* Led the strategy, vision, and roadmap of DMV’s most complex initiative, Original Vehicle Registration transaction, over 20 sprints of development time. The final implementation covered 8 vehicle types (Motor Vehicle, Motorcycle, Moped, ATV, Trailer, Boat, Snowmobile) and more than 50,000 possible registration scenarios. (Launched October 2024)* Defined engagement-level OKRs for 2024 and other key metrics and performed data analysis to support those metrics and to fulfill ad-hoc client requests* Improved test coverage with 700 automated Gherkin tests using Cypress, to ensure we had testcoverage for core FE use cases and key edge cases, reducing regressions found by manualtesting by 8%General Contributions* Authored blog post “How AI Will Enhance Humans in the Workplace” (https://web.archive.org/web/20240415052853/https://nuvalence.io/insights/workplace-ai-youre-still-the-boss/)

• Led the Product Management team, including UI/UX and QA. • Authored the university’s telework policy (adopted June 2022), due to our success as a remote team.• Established a mentorship program with the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science, to accept two seniors each spring semester. Key Projects:WIOA Hub • Designed and developed the WIOA Success Plan API, combining agency-specific plans into a collaborative cross-agency tool for a holistic response to their customer’s barriers and needs. • The Success Plan integrations increased outreach response rate by 8%, improved data consistency, and reduced paperwork across the 4 partner agencies. Saw 700 plans created in the first month and 11,000 created in the first year.Mississippi Works (Web) • Developed analytical tools in R to study our web app logs, enabled us to pull 10 years of historical user behavior data in order to generate hypotheses and establish baseline testing. • Led the UI/UX upgrade of the MDES Staff functionality, improving workflow efficiency by 42 seconds.• Led user observation research on the new UI and Success Plan updates, which led to 28 new improvement tickets to further simplify workflows.• Prioritized our roadmap between contract deliverables for 2022-2023 FY and items to pursue via grant funding.• Designed new employer features to support corporations with 80+ independently managed locations, including a SSO solution for multiple locations under the same corporation, better self-service tools to find the perfect candidates, and simplified flow to post new job orders. MyMDHS • Reduced churn and paperwork errors by 7% for the web and mobile app by combining the intake applications for SNAP, TANF, and LIHEAP into a single application.

Project Lead* I worked as on-site technical project lead with We Energies and Louisville Gas & Electric (LG&E). I gathered requirements, implemented client configurations, and trained on the software and software integration. Working with technical and non-technical audiences, I lead the customer through data conversion validation and building out test cases. * The LG&E project went live in July 2018. I was the on-site technical lead to ensure a smooth go-live into their new MAM system (our software package WATT-Net Plus). Scrum Master * As Scrum Master, I facilitated the daily scrum meetings and recommended sprint plans to distribute limited resources between Project Managers, on-going development, and bug fixing to meet deadlines and react quickly to customer feedback. Using data from time tracking and ticketing systems, I identified areas for improvement, calibrated our estimations on work effort, and refined processes in QA and project teams.Quality Assurance* Originally hired to build the Quality Assurance department from scratch, by developing test suites based on customer requirements and environment stacks (e.g. MS SQL vs. Oracle db). I developed processes to log and track defects from discovery to closure. In October 2016, I led the effort to earn ISO 9001:2008 certification for the Software department and to update to the ISO 9001:2015 standard in August 2017. Release Management* As Release Manager, I would determine which features and bug fixes were included in each version, documenting all changes in the published release notes. I managed the software releases via source code versioning and branching. For each release, I would coordinate the approval and promotion of all software product lines with Sales & Marketing, Customer Support, and Production.Staffing* I interviewed prospective employees to fill four different roles on the software team. Upon hiring, I trained each new employee on the WATT-Net Plus software product lines.
