Project History

Revenue Increase for Senior Life Insurance Company

Increased revenue by $10 million through data analysis surrounding customer behavior, vendor relationships, stakeholder goals, and workflows.

This project involved increasing company sales in areas we were not hitting. I looked at demographic data to improve marketing strategies, which eventually led to more sales. I utilized advanced knowledge of client data and related technology to optimize client information processes and procedures.

Slice Application Development

Led the design and implementation of the life insurance app that our employees use to write business, leveraging the Agile SDLC methodology during the process.

This project involved working alongside other business analysts and developers to build a software app that could be used on iPads and iPhones in the workplace to write business. The resulting software enhanced the employee and customer experience for smoother and faster application times.

LIMS Software Development

Led the design of our company's laboratory information management system (LIMS) software to enhance statistical and data analysis in research and development projects.

LIMS software is the heartbeat of all research and development scientific data. This software allowed for better tracking of experiments while using UI to leverage product success. This system was updated every quarter to maximize efficiency.
