Simple Memories | From Idea to App Store Submission

Simple Memories began as an idea to make it easier for families to turn the photos and memories already sitting on their phones into meaningful physical keepsakes. I developed the concept into a functioning mobile product, designed the creation workflows, established a print-fulfillment path, built the supporting account and commerce infrastructure, completed App Store requirements, and submitted the application to Apple App Review in September 2026.

Barber Career Map | From Idea to Live Career Platform

Barber Career Map started with a simple idea: job searching should make it easier to understand where opportunities actually are, not just provide another long list of openings. I designed and launched a live nationwide career discovery platform that combines real U.S. job listings with interactive mapping, salary visibility, personalized commute intelligence, saved jobs, comparisons, account features, and paid access options. The project moved from concept to a functioning production product while balancing user experience, data integrity, privacy, API costs, and long-term scalability.

From Business Plan to Executive Action

Developed the 2026 Marketplace Business Plan to identify and prioritize opportunities across technology, capital investment, pricing, guest experience, and operational efficiency. I independently developed the analysis, recommendations, strategic priorities, and executive presentation. Multiple recommendations subsequently advanced into testing, capital planning, contract review, pricing changes, or implementation.
