- Led UX and product team while collaborating with engineering through the transition of engineering driven requirements to customer driven requirements.- Documented and communicated dozens of use cases along with requirements for e-commerce fulfillment robotic application.- Developed product road map based on gaps in the market, differentiating features and technical requirements.

Principal Product Owner- Expert for workflows within the customers’ warehouses and turning features and workflows into actionable work for the engineering teams.- Create requirements and use cases for the engineering team to understand the full context of the work they are doing. Track each requirement and use case to a milestone/release along with the stories in Jira to achieve the requirement.- Prioritized work across multiple teams while communicating the impact of changes to leadership and the customer. Priority decisions are made while considering what is best for the customer in addition to what is best for the company.- Customer facing software representative for large scale, complex robotic systems.

Technical Project Manager- Led evolution of firmware/software teams from R&D to scheduled and planned releases. This includes migrating engineering’s perspective from constant releases on test equipment to a release cadence.- Coordinate with manufacturing, firmware and software teams to ensure manufacturing uses the appropriate firmware and required features. Also created approval process to get software/firmware to appropriate parties.- Product Owner type tasks including daily prioritizing, managing the teams backlog, and communicating business needs to the team.

• Coordinate high level features requested by top leadership across 7 software teams while communicating current priorities and concerns with key stakeholders.• Enable top leadership to make the best decisions by understanding and communicating the cost of interruptions and requests. This also allows the engineering teams to stay focused resulting in a better product.• Challenge technical teams to solve problems by using existing features or in simple ways to increase velocity and keep stakeholders satisfied. It is my nature to try and make everyone happy. • Balance critical issues and expectations of delivery to prevent frustration from customers.• Develop a product owner team in the product management group and lead removing the product owner role out of software. • Manage a team of 8 focusing on career development and personal growth.

• Develop and communicate vision of product to scrum team while maintaining a roadmap.• Work with the customer to understand the requirements and business needs so I can develop the minimum viable product. This is used for the prioritization process and to explain the value to engineering team. If the engineers understand why they are doing the work and the impact it will have, the product will be better. • Manage interruptions so the team’s commitments are not sacrificed while maintaining customers and leaderships expectations.• Create a release plan with release content and any changes the user needs to know about. Provide documentation on how to use any new features, key ways to recognize the new features, and problems to watch out for. Coordinate with customer on release timing and roll back plan. The over communication creates a sense of calm for the customer.

• Technical lead, responsible for the system level design of new features to ensure that customer and business needs are met. New features include hardware and software components.• Develop system and subsystem-level functional, technical and performance requirements.• Supports integration and test activities. Create the documentation around the new features and work with the testing team. • Created flow charts of edge cases and how the software would handle them. Developed work for the software teams to enhance the user experience of the system.

• Design architecture of a large automated warehouse PLC program while focusing on the reusability of routines.• Develop a modular program using Allen Bradley PLC following PackML structure using RSLogix5000 (Allen Bradley’s Software package for their PLC’s).• Program Allen Bradley HMI’s using FactoryView (Allen Bradley’s Software package for their HMI’s).• Implement network design to communicate via Ethernet between PLCs, HMIs, remote inputs and outputs and OPC clients

Perform operational and transactional functions. Responsibilities include, handling client service issues, operating as floor coach in the absence of store manager, issuing approvals for desk transactions as well as opening and closing the store.

• Work closely with the customer and team of engineers through the entire concept, design, manufacture, purchase, build, debug and installation phases of automating a process• Mechanical design of machined parts using SolidWorks, specify and select components through vendors• Electrical schematic design using Autocad Electrical 2006, select electrical components, PLC programming (ladder logic), HMI design

Designed and manufactured a prototype to open a polyurethane bag and load product into the bagPresented prototype to customer who later purchased 4 machines

Designed parts and modeled them using SolidworksTested high frequency cables for voltage standing wave ratio, insertion loss, and electrical delay
