Experience

UX Engineer & Product Designer, Udemy / CorpU

Remote, PA — August 2020 - February 2023

In my time at CorpU, a Udemy Company, I designed and built components and single-page react apps, and took the lead on planning, designing, and the delivery of creating the most accessible learner experience available. I also helped lead in establishing a complete SDLC. I held the roles of FullStory expert, accessibility consultant/tester/designer/developer, and scrum master. I assisted in road mapping & planning for our product, design, & engineering portfolio.

My work includes designs & builds of single-page react apps with admin interfaces, focused on the promotion and enrollment of courses via an online catalog with assistance on backend data supply methods. Next, I planned, designed, and developed the frontend rebuild of the entire user-facing application transitioning the product from a small ~700px application into a full-screen responsive & accessible platform & services including email. This included full app mockups, higher fidelity design work, user testing, and user interview sessions.

I started on a small dev team of 2 engineers & 1 product manager that grew into a specialized team of 12 team members across product, development, developer operations, & design with scheduled releases, established code standards, and many scrum practices. Eventually freeing myself of most frontend sprint deliverable responsibilities, I later managed scrum responsibilities such as leading daily scrum standups, organization & leading regression testing, facilitating sprint & project retrospectives, and assisting with project management when necessary. My primary focus was on the design & execution of new and rebuilt areas of the CorpU platform.

I lead with data & empathy. Show me what is happening, and I’ll tell you the story of how we can make it better. The learners were my primary focus, growing the leaders of tomorrow for a better world. This passion was driven by user advocacy.
