THE GOAL

What needed to work better.

Reduce repetitive campaign work and make personalized lifecycle programs easier to operate with limited engineering resources.

MY CONTRIBUTION

From complexity to a working system.

I connected low-code tools and event-triggered workflows, including Formstack, Jira, and Iterable. Reusable patterns supported campaign production and preference management. In 2024, my manager’s annual evaluation credited my inferred-search testing with reducing email send volume by 35%, increasing rental submissions by 3%, and improving click-to-open rates by 2%, while sales submissions remained steady. These results concern that program, not all campaigns. At Activate Summit 2022, I shared how StreetEasy used catalogs and data feeds to automate customer journeys.
