Video case study: Risk prioritization
Code42
How do you take hundreds of millions of file events and boil them down to the ones that need attention? I developed a risk scoring system and workflow to help security analysts find the most risky activity across their organizations. Watch the video for an in-depth look at my process and how I tackled this challenging problem.
Alert rule creation & management
Code42
Security analysts need timely notifications to ensure that they can respond to incidents quickly and confidently. I designed a rule builder that allows them to build powerful alert rules without focusing on complex conditional statements.
Scalable drawer-based UI
Code42
The Code42 product has numerous workflows that can take place in different areas of the application. I championed the implementation of a drawer-based UI system with reusable components and patterns that can be used in any workflow.
Trade show research & recruitment
Code42
Security analysts are a tricky target persona. They are hard to come by, and even harder to find time with. I launched an initiative called UX LABS to engage with this specific audience at conferences and trade shows, where we were able to distribute surveys and perform usability tests on-site.
Direct to dealer search engine for cars
CarFetch.com
Third-party car shopping websites, such as CarSoup.com, Cars.com, and Autotrader.com, frequently divert traffic away from dealership websites. To address this issue, I spearheaded an initiative to create, brand, and launch a new car aggregation concept. This concept enabled shoppers to search across dealer inventories in their area, while directing them to dealership websites for the most recent photos and information. This approach turned out to be highly effective and was eventually adopted by CarSoup.com, as well as white-labeled for various media outlets.
Car shopping mobile apps
CarSoup.com
Car shopping can be a long and stressful process. I created a responsive shopping experience across mobile devices, and helped shoppers browse a giant selection of cars from anywhere.
Car selling mobile apps
CarSoup.com
Selling your car can be an intimidating process, and many people don't know where to start. I created an app specifically designed to guide users step by step through the process to ensure that they could find the right buyer as quickly as possible.
Mobile game
Teeter Tot Tower
(in development)
(in development)
I've recently started to study the art of game design and teaching myself how to build mobiles game in Unity. The concept is simple, and the gameplay creates a satisfying engagement loop. The game stars a friendly little tater tot that the player can hit with a teeter totter. Two modes of play include hitting the tot as high as you can while avoiding obstacles, or testing your accuracy by landing in a hotdish.
Children's book
The Three Pirate Pigs
Last year, I accomplished a dream of mine by publishing a children's book that I wrote and illustrated. Although not necessarily digital or interactive, the story was influenced by my experience in product design. It tells a story about the future of the three little pigs and how to build upon previous experiences through the process of iteration. It was a great opportunity to share a passion of mine and sharpen my skills in print design.
