At Buddy, I get to experience the fast-moving start-up life. I have had great success using my "jack of all trades" experience to wear many hats and to help them move forwards with a massive product pivot. Here at Buddy, I lead all partner integrations. If you use our software, I'm there to ensure the success of the implementation. I work from first contact with our partners, helping to close the deal to seeing the users come and optimize after. At Buddy, we are organized into product feature teams integrating design and development.

Our app stack is: Node.js, MongoDB, Postgress, React.js, Next.js, Gastsby,js

  • Synthesize/document implementation plans.
  • Perform design and discovery activities to determine product use cases.
  • Manage communications and implementation timelines
  • Create partner-specific proof of concepts
  • Do partner-specific product design
• As part of the product team, I also:
  • Write feature requests and work to refine and socialize for production.
  • Create product-specific proof of concepts,
  • Brainstorm features and technical architecture
  • I write and manage our product documentation and the site where we publish it,

While at Risk Based Security, I worked primarily as a Product Manager for two products, "CyberRisk Analytics,"  a tool to measure your company's Cyber Risk, and "The Platform," our next-generation vulnerability management platform.

While there, I stepped up and served as Director of Technology while we transitioned to a new leader.

Our App stack was: Ruby on Rails, Python, Postgres, React.js. AWS

Everyone at Sway is a “creative” — and pretty much all of us cringe at the use of that word as a noun. We’ve built our shop on the backs of a handful of extremely talented writers, designers, developers, and producers that work collaboratively.

I managed a team working on websites, display advertising, and content. I also coded projects as a director who "does".  I'm also worked with the management team on new business, agency processes, and more.

An experience agency based in Richmond, VA specializing in full-spectrum digital product development as well as UX/design, development (native and web), and strategy capabilities.

At Mobelux, I led production including technology and strategy for our most significant engagements. Maintaining product quality and project scope from inception to launch and beyond was a major responsibility. I would also step in to assist when an implementation got too tricky. I oversaw how a project's technical requirement impacted the business while working directly with clients and partners to make quick sense of their evolving needs. 

Current Clients/Engagements

Neighborhood Goods - My team designed and developed their entire technology stack. The platform includes a custom GraphQL Shopify API/CMS, Bluetooth micro-location for in-store delivery and assistance. Products created include digital signage, native application with location features, responsive e-commerce site, and a native associate application. We worked with their team on strategy then executed all UX/design/development in-house. Since the initial launch, we released multiple versions of a native application and new web code was released daily. Other cases/examples are available by request.

A digital content solutions provider in Richmond, VA focusing on retail content (live motion and animation), social media, and digital menu boards. Previously a division of The Martin Agency and now operating as Tilt Creative.

S2 had the daunting task of running the Walmart Smart Network (in-store digital signage). The Network began as an all-video platform but when it moved to a web browser powered player, it made sense for me to join the S2 team. I was able to bring modern JAM stack concepts in to play. The first thing was making sure our digital footprint was substantial. I scaled dynamic campaigns to 20,000 in-store screens and grew the digital menu board footprint from 0 to 2,500 screens.

A regional arts publication established in Richmond, VA.

My duties were managing the print and design scheduling, managing freelance jobs, coordinating print/editorial schedules, ordering photography, scanning, retouching, typesetting, and ad creation. I was responsible for printing budget, production of final print document, and press checks among many other undertakings. A favorite achievement here was that in reworking the entire production process, I succeeded in trimming the prepress budget by two-thirds.
