Sazhimi is a web app that helps users to bulk import Shazam Tags into Spotify Playlists. This feature is just partially implemented in Shazam (single exports, playback only within the app). Sazhimi is also a UX experiment meant to explore procedural user flows. For this web app I designed a flow method called "restrictive progress " in which users are restricted from going back in the flow to repeat an action.

As a Product Manager of Latch's core product offering, a smart lock, I collaborated with software and design teams to support our mission of making buildings better places to live. This included feature discovery and delivery to improve the resident journey for 100,000+ users while reducing operating expenses for property management. Success required monitoring of locks and app performance, piloting features in staged environments, and releasing software and firmware updates to reduce lockouts, save battery life, and save property managers from ever having to change a lock during resident turnover again.
