In bootstrap environment, I worked with the CTO to prioritize new features and fixes to the company’s core SaaS product: “TX360” including the alerts, dashboards and PowerBI offerings for a unified brand image using an existing design system. This entailed user research, product roadmaps for new features or UX guardrails, competitive analyses, pitch decks, wireframes, interaction designs, and polished hi-fi designs for engineers to build. I also designed and managed the TX360 mobile app for iOS and Android which was well received by clients and the Client Support Team. With the CTO, we launched a “skunkworks” program to explore integrations with Chat-GPT and AI and how users would interact with these tools. Achievements lead to faster throughput from staff meaning higher user satisfaction from clients, stakeholders, and several internal teams.

Continuation of FlightStats.Working with US and UK agile teams, I helped define personas, contributed to user research and testing, and also reviewed analytics to refine user flows for key tools for internal teams and outward facing clients. I also managed and contributed design system components, created infographic guidelines for dashboards and Tableau offerings, championed accessibility scoring, product wireframes, no-code prototypes and finished designs for mobile and web SaaS apps for engineers. I also worked with other teams such as marketing, sales and the local executive teams to create and deliver various collateral for a unified design experience(omni-channel). Efforts lead to an increase in user satisfaction with FlightStats and later Cirium products.

Working with the Product Manager Scott, I was able to contribute to various other B2B projects.Eventually the role expended beyond UI design and I helped the sales and marketing teams with custom collateral for international expos and conferences. This company, its data, and products would soon be acquired by FlightGlobal and then later rebranded to Cirium.
