Project History
Capabl
https://capabl.co/Launched the internal MVP (beta) in two months with two developers while wearing multiple hats. The internal MVP brought a few users to the app, which was huge, considering time, budget, and resource constraints.
As our core ethos and approach to anything we do, we focus on building the most complete and comprehensive standard for monitoring fulfillment performance. We want our methodology to be fair to both brands and providers and easy to understand.
Working as Direction of Operations and Head of Product, I have built the team, processes, and systems and executed the planning to reach breakeven.
Superfeed
https://www.superfeedtech.com/Transformed the idea into the product and then took it to the market. Superfeed App crossed 5,000 daily active users in eight months and the retention rate after five weeks was 23%.
In 18 months, I led and grew the team from two developers to eight developers, two automation engineers, and one UI/UX designer. Also, I worked alongside C-level executives and with the director of operations and the CMO developing the organizational processes.
I was directly involved in product marketing, working with the CMO and the user acquisition manager to develop the campaigns for the targeted audience. I led the implementation of UXCam and Pendo to analyze users' pain points. After analyzing thousands of user sessions, conducting user interviews, and focus group testing, I collaborated with the UX designer to update the UX and UI of the application.
The result was a whopping 23% user retention after five weeks. Another metric that we kept track of during this period is daily activity—we crossed 5,000 daily active users and 25,000 daily active sessions.
GVERSE Petrophysics
Launched and managed two major releases for GVERSE Petrophysics and successfully delivered the integration with GGX PRISM.
