Over the past six years at Cisco, I have primarily focused on the user experience of collaborative engine internally. In this time, I have designed and developed a number of initiatives interfaces. These include, the original Community Request Tool, which took provisioning of internal communities from 5 a month to over 300 a month before Click to Create was born. Designing the current interface for IPCentral, which looks to improve 3rd Party traceability in the Cisco code base and to ensure Cisco is fulfilling its license obligations. And, most recently, creating a new way for internal engineers to discuss, view, and share topic based information, cross-functionally.

In this role, I was responsible for the technical project planning, management, implementation and development for key clients in the business as well as technical direction over other technical resources and their projects. Responsibilities range from designing the information architecture, project plans and execution strategies, engaging and assisting designers as needed, to coding front end and back end of projects. Challenges on a daily basis would include juggling client deliverables and managing internal and external communications across a project, to maintaining server uptime, to building a database model for an internal project need.

I began my career as a Creative Producer responsible for creative project management, creative coordination and articulation across stakeholders including business owners and development, as well as managing client expectations. In search of more hands on creative development and with the desire to be apart of the development lifecycle, I transitioned to information design and development on similar projects in my next role.

At Wall Street on Demand, my primary focus was on designing and delivering data architectures in relation to financial information. This financial information included designing and building collaborative interfaces for institutions like Schwab, Fidelity, TD Waterhouse, JPMorgan, and Yahoo Financial. Led, bi-monthly discussions on key web technologies that were being introduced at the time.
