Theres nothing like being in the trenches to get work done, here are 2 pivotal moments in my career that stand out.
Bloomberg R&D
Solving problems for a digital world is far too complex at larger companies. It becomes even more critical when 300,000 of the worlds top financial experts including Michael Bloomberg use the Bloomberg Professional App on a daily basis.

The Home Depot Dungeon
C-Level execs were excited about the launch of the first THD Mobile Commerce App. Towards the launch of the project we encountered an unforeseen issue that accelerated the pace of our product launch; the release of the iPhone 4 was announced and we had to invent new workflows in software that was not designed for mobile screen design. After the successful launch of the product we pitched a vision for the future of mobile commerce that has helped the retail giant become a benchmark in the industry today.
