Project History
Real Estate Technology App – On-demand Home Tours
Launched a proof-of-concept app for a real estate tech startup while working as a product owner and a project manager.
Jira Server to Cloud Migration
Migrated a complex Atlassian suite from a server to a solution based on the Atlassian Cloud Enterprise.
I designed, proposed, and implemented an Atlassian Cloud Enterprise solution that included Jira, Jira Service Desk, and Confluence. The solution was adopted by our technical, support, HR, and marketing organizations, with the project consisting of migrating active backlog content and evaluating and sourcing new plugins. The design included a new workflow, page, item schema, hierarchy, and permissions design. We completed the migration within 45 days without data loss or a negative impact on the functionality and team performance.
Functionality and Integration of the Microsoft Security Suite
Integrated the Microsoft Security suite using a big-data SaaS security tool and handled its functionality.
During integrations, we had time to do a lot of gold plating, which led to writing new threat queries using the tools' metadata and research spikes for the second version. This led to new features and sales avenues, including the ability to monitor phishing email attacks.
