Reducing tech-debt and investment loss by over $200,000+. ● Grew social media accounts to a reach of over 20,000 community members, and integrated this with effective Go-to-Market strategies.

● Owned product definition and delivery for 3+ client projects, keen interest on how my work influenced the product as a whole. ● My work helped build a digital product which achieved over $2 million in Series A funding, working with an external studio of over 15+ designers and 5+ developers. ● Worked closely with clients to shape product vision, define success metrics, and translate early-stage ideas into testable product scopes. ● Focused on combining good technical product structure with a deep understanding of user experience.

● Completed a long-running, complex research programme requiring strong planning, prioritisation, risk management and progress tracking, resulting in 2 academic papers. ● Managed multiple workstreams concurrently, adapting plans in response to emerging findings and constraints. ● Taught and mentored over 5 project students and other doctoral researchers. ● Communicated progress, risks and outcomes clearly to senior academic stakeholders and non-specialist audiences through group meetings, seminars and conferences.
