In 2017, I moved to Chicago to take a job at Avanade. Originally a joint venture between Accenture and Microsoft, Avanade's mission was to bridge the models of the two companies to provide effective and innovative solutions for large corporate clients around the globe.
I began at Avanade as a Front-End Developer, building custom web solutions for clients, sometimes on platforms like Sharepoint or Dynamics 365, other times in more bespoke contexts.
After about 6 months, I transitioned into a UX Design role, where I worked as a UX Generalist responsible for everything from various forms of user research, to wireframing/prototyping, user testing, and even visual design depending on the needs of the project / client.
My primary strength developed as my ability to stay involved and integrated into projects from end-to-end, collaborating with developers along the way and jumping in to help solve any problem that came up along the way, technical or otherwise.
The nature of this work is pretty locked down by client-specific NDA's. If you'd like to view this work, please feel free to reach out to me directly, or if I've already provided you with a password, feel free to follow the link below keeping in mind I'm sharing this information in confidence.
