  • Universal Location Manager (Yahoo!)
    The Universal Location Manager (ULM) is a product on the Yahoo! network. It enables users to enter a location of interest, such as for news, weather, maps, and have that location persist across browser sessions. The purpose of the product is to create a consistent user experience for managing locations across Yahoo! while allowing Yahoo! to improve local ad targeting.

    ULM3 enables the user to set a default location which will remain persistent across all Yahoo! properties accessed with that browser. With sign-in, users can also save locations for access throughout the Yahoo! network. Version3 supports internationalization and a number of AJAX features that streamline and enhance the user experience.

  • Blazent 3.0 (Blazent)
    Blazent offers a series of products that support IT asset management and optimization across the enterprise. The Blazent systems consolidate data sources from operational, transactional, and business management tools to provide analytic insights to the highest level of the organization.

    Challenge: Structure the access to large amounts of data in such a way that the IT business user can easily identify and focus on the most critical issues.

    Working closely with Engineering and Product Managment teams, and through interview and observation with target users, I led formulation of a scenario-based framework for Guided Analysis. This framework orients the product around particular business problems, such as server consolidation or software license compliance, and allows them to work systematically toward solutions.

    The product was featured at the DEMO@15 conference. There is a patent pending for the guided anlaysis framework, for which I am first author.
