Project History
COVID-19 Return to Work Application | via Toptal
Designed and implemented a COVID-19 mobile questionnaire.
Additional work at the enterprise level included vendor selection, processes for integration with HR management systems, integration to badge management systems, data privacy, mobile communications, push notifications within the mobile app, and emergency management protocols.
Proprietary Appointment Management Platform
Led the design, build, development, and implementation of a mobile-first booking platform for visiting nurse services.
Real-time Call Center Dashboard
Led design, development, execution, and implementation of a proprietary executive dashboard.
Web-based Client Intake Form
Spearheaded the design and build of a custom weight loss coaching intake form that increased user uptake by 50%.
The development was outsourced to a 3-party web design firm that built the form in HTML5. Each response pathway leads to a set of criteria, and based on the responses, an outcome is selected. When the outcomes are combined, a recommendation engine creates a custom program from a set of options.
Executive Coaching Software | via Toptal
Carried out discovery, design, and MVP development of an executive coaching platform.
Technologies used included React, Ruby on Rails, and AWS.
Agile Transformation of Development Teams
Headed the Agile transformation of a health IT startup, immediately increasing team productivity by 60%.
I moved the entire team into a Scrumban setup and began tracking all activities with user stories, epics, and backlogs in Jira. Also, I implemented daily standups and PO meetings, as well as a review cycle, retrospectives, and an overarching scrum cycle that allowed stakeholders to see the progress of work when requirements could no longer be changed and what KPIs the project was being measured against. The productivity increased by 60%, and the team morale vastly improved.
Geolocated Appointment Management System
Led design, build, development, testing, and implementation of a new appointment management platform for 30,000 users and millions of customers.
Our business case demonstrated that geolocation and integration would increase service utilization and customer happiness.
We built a custom solution that integrated Google Maps API with Google Calendar API, a proprietary CRM system, and a back-end administrative tool allowing real-time booking and demand adjustment based on location.
At the start of the project, booking was handled via a spreadsheet with no access to real-time data, resulting in poor usage and customer dissatisfaction. Cancelations, customer service, time management, and geolocation of services were handled via three separate teams with no connections. Utilization increased by nearly 90%, and cancellation rates decreased by 50%. Customer satisfaction tripled. As a direct result, revenue projections increased by almost 30%.
Professional Bull Riding (PBR) Official App
Led the design, development, and launch of the PBR official app.
Barrett-Jackson Mobile App
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/barrett-jackson-live/id6444820540Designed, built, and launched the Barrett-Jackson mobile app.
