Marketed the product to 1200 international users in the trial phase. Product Design - Wireframed a social iPhone movie review app which highlighted the new review system deployed on the website. Information Architecture - Identified and categorized ~900 “movie genes” to formulate a movie recommendation algorithm based on movie genome. The recommendation algorithm is non-collaborative in nature and draws conclusions based entirely on user’s individual preferences (“taste”) as opposed to popularly employed collaborative filtering techniques. Devised a novel, quicker, more comprehensive movie review method. Game Designer/Manager - Conceived, designed and managed a social movie trivia quiz as a Facebook app which asked users to speed connect clues to guess the movie. That game had 11 levels to achieve with increasing difficulty at each level. Within a week the app grew to 700 users without any marketing.
