Worked freelance as a Product Designer on an angel funded game development platform. I helped to shape the initial product strategy, and lay the initial design foundations for user testing and future development.

July 2019 to September 2020

Receipt Bank

Product Manager

Product Manager at a fast paced, high growth company using artificial intelligence to disrupt the accounting space. Joined after series B funding through to a successful series C and later acquisition. I used agile methodologies, collaborated with a multi-disciplinary team, and managed the inception, research, testing, and iteration of features and initiatives which lead to the release of the companies first automated submission method, automated documentation fetching and bank integration, and the initiation of product led engagement and retention strategies.

Projects

playQ Videogame Playlist Manager

I built a playlist management solution that supports server side rendering (SSR), user authentication, aggregated scores and ratings, and a user activity feed. The app uses React and Remix as the full stack framework, with some additional asyncronous tasks offloaded to a cloudflare application.

My Developer Portfolio

I built an entirely custom portfolio website using React and Remix. I wrote a custom build process which parses markdown content and caches the output into simple JSON for the app to consume on request with response times of less than 7ms.

This Little Piggy Richmond

I built a client-facing website that utilises Notion as a backend to facilitate dynamic content updates without the need for a complex CMS solution. Data on the inventory can be changed by the client and seen instantly without a build step. Built with Next.js and deployed to Vercel.
