My role
- Picked and led the small skunkworks team that built the initial prototype.
- Defined the problem via interviews and ethnographic research.
- Successfully ran an iterative, user-centric design process to come up with the solution - extremely rare within a tight-lipped bureaucracy unaccustomed to talking to civilians.
- Contributed front and back end code.
- Fostered a collaborative environment with Engineering, involving them early and encouraging their feedback.
Impact
Took the idea from zero to one, raising an angel round with the prototype I built.
