  While at Anomali I worked with stakeholders in an agile and customer focussed environment to design and build best in class tooling for cyber security teams. Working in a small, multi disciplinary team has given me the opportunity to lead projects from start to finish across a wide variety of Anomali products. I regularly engage in usability testing and research sessions with customers. I work closely with product management and engineering teams to ensure we're building the right thing for our users. Designing at Anomali can take many forms, from sketching a concept on a whiteboard, to building a fully interactive Axure prototype to speccing out a new UI component's parameters in Sketch and React. Testing with real users is central to my product design processes. Show less
