Working in multi disciplinary teams, I had theopportunity to lead projects from start to finish across a wide variety of Anomali products.I established regular usability testing and research sessions with customers. I worked closely withproduct management and engineering leadership to advocate for design. Design at Anomali took manyforms, from sketching a concept on a whiteboard, to building a fully interactive Axure prototypes, tospeccing out a new UI component's parameters in Sketch and React.Notable projects — Designing end to end flows for Anomali Investigations, a visual tool for researchingcyber security incidents in the browser. Users could action alerts, identify Indicators of Compromise(IOCs), prepare incident reports and create event driven integrations with key components of securityinfrastructure. Anomali Lens (now Copilot) is a Natural Language Processing (NLP) browser extensionwhich detects threats from web content, generates bulletins, starts investigations and maps to theMITRE ATT&CK framework. Lens allows organisations to operationalise their threat intelligence muchquicker. Show less
