Tapped to replace the 45 legacy Oracle CRM support portals. I created and presented functional mockups to each of the CBS properties, then using a single instance of Salesforce, built 150+ uniquely branded, mobile responsive support sites for each one. Our highly modified version of Salesforce would create a segregated, unique experience for each brand, while distilling all of the communications and data into a single experience for the supporting agents’ desktop portal.

• Designed and created a ground up replacement of Oracles legacy Support CRM using Salesforce Service Cloud. ($800K annual savings)
• Scheduled and created 150+ uniquely branded support sites for each of the enterprise brands and other related properties. (25 million combined average monthly visits)
• Each site leveraged Twitter Bootstrap’s responsive design principals.
• Applied modern tracking and provided detailed customizable reports.
• Created all design mockups using various Adobe CC tools.
• Co-created the Salesforce agent desktop environment to ingest and segregate incoming enterprise-wide requests.

I leveraged the existing Salesforce implementation to accommodate a brand agnostic contest management system. This enabled decentralized hosting of contest pages, entry collection and winner selections. As a result, I also successfully created new sales opportunities for the marketing team, enabling them to offer measurable sweepstakes and giveaways in their product portfolio.

As Salesforce was responsible for hosting the pages, data storage and accessible across the enterprise, this eliminated the need to coordinate resources with Dev Ops or reserving outside development assets. This also enabled the smaller brands that were dependent solely on social media for self-promotion, a simple way for boosting audience participation and engagement.

• Created contest management division by leveraging existing Salesforce platform. ($0 implementation cost)
• Created 50+ contest/sweepstake/giveaway sites that randomly chose winners from entries received.
• Applied modern tracking and provided detailed customizable reports.
• Created new marketing opportunities for sales teams and promotional tools for smaller brands.
• Created new promotional and measurable marketing opportunities for sales teams.
• Created new channel for smaller business units to boost audience participation and engagement.
• Each site leveraged Twitter Bootstrap’s responsive design principals.
• Created all design mockups using various Adobe CC tools.
• Co-created the Salesforce agent desktop environment to sort entries and select winners.
• Kanban sprints and QA testing managed with Trello/Bugzilla.
• Coordinated efforts with brands across the US and Europe.

Due to the specialized nature of the Salesforce development, I was the first line of contact for any new work requests from any of the CBS brands. It was my responsibility to analyze each request to determine the scope and technical effort, then budget the resources accordingly. I would determine delivery windows, then use modern tools to build the respectable sprints, communicate responsibilities to team members and provide regularly scheduled update reports to principals.

As an active member of an agile development team, I was closely involved with the daily work progress and regular stand-ups. As a result, I was able to prioritize bugs, schedule deployments and accurately manage expectations accordingly. These efforts normally spanned multiple, simultaneous projects and included managing the frequent context switching of technologies for the team.

• Analyze all requests, determine scope and technical efforts, then assembled assets.
• Create tickets, schedule dynamic sprint timelines that maximize efficiency throughout project phases.
• Identify, assign and manage local and international team assets and resources.
• Coordinate product, sales and engineering departments across multiple inter-company brands and divisions.
• Monitor team progress, resource allocation, identify blockers and manage escalations.
• Maintain regular schedule for backlog grooming and bug assignments.
• Schedule and lead stand up/progress check-in’s and communicated updates and expectations to principals.
• Regularly participate in QA testing of development, staging and production environments.
• Maintain active processes for identifying, resolving and/or escalation of bugs and technical debt.
