Selected work

Projects and my contribution.

01

Scheduling and workflow applications

  • Process discovery
  • Internal applications
  • User testing

The problem
Scheduling and operational processes were spread across spreadsheets and email.

My contribution
I work with teams to map their process, define requirements, and build or refine application features. I prepare testing, support users, and incorporate their feedback.

The deliverables
Shared workflow applications, requirements, testing materials, and rollout support.

02

AI adoption beyond the first demo

  • Microsoft Copilot
  • Employee training
  • Adoption reporting

The problem
Employees need examples relevant to their work and support after their first AI training session.

My contribution
I design and deliver demonstrations, training materials, onboarding documentation, and office hours. I also contribute to rollout support and adoption reporting.

The deliverables
Employee enablement spanning onboarding, practical guides, live learning, and ongoing support.

03

Knowledge assistants with testing built in

  • Use-case definition
  • Assistant configuration
  • Evaluation

The problem
Teams need a way to find approved operational information through an internal assistant.

My contribution
I define use cases, configure assistant behavior, prepare test plans, and gather subject-matter feedback with the project team. I document limitations and support rollout.

The deliverables
Internal knowledge assistants accompanied by test plans, documented limitations, and rollout materials.
