  Moovila

  Dec 2016 - now

  VP of Quality

  At Moovila I work with a small, high energy, agile development team building a mobile project management, communication and execution platform designed to enhance the way individuals execute, learn and engage around projects.I design and implement quality processes and quality standards throughout the software development life cycle, which efficiently ensure the highest quality of our products. I enjoy working closely with those at every part of the SDLC from the inception of the design, to the implementation and testing of that design, through to production deployments for our end customers.We have built a game changing project management tool that quickly and clearly surfaces a project's critical path, helping Project Managers more efficiently and affectively do their job. The benefit doesn't stop with the Project Manager, enabling project team participants to seamlessly communicate with each other and update the status of their tasks and more. Let me know if you'd like to see a demo, I'd be more than happy to show you what we've built! Show less
