I'm a growth hacker who values transparency, collaboration, and balancing unique ideas or approaches with fast execution and stat. siq. outcomes. You'll see this when I work to map out and iterate through 100s of 1000s of low hanging fruit/maintenance/bugs/pixels as well as when I steadfastly identify and validate big bet solutions that duvet neatly into the larger work.
I support my team by helping them figure out the right balance between design, development and business needs. I speak up and build empathy for our customers by crafting an iron-clad data-driven vision thats thought through down to the rivet and which I leverage as a unifying force to bridge the gap between different company perspectives!
"7 does not let anything limit his imagination and vision. 'We want to have the best experience in the world!' is something you hear from 7 regularly" - Alex Dailida iOS Eng. @Lyft
oh youre still reading? #achievements:
In the past I have made waves in the gaming industry by creating a Fallout total overhaul mod from Morrowind, which led to Bethesda Game Studios acquiring the IP rights from Interplay and making Fallout 3, New Vegas, 4, 76, etc. ( now an upcoming Amazon Prime Video mini-series ) And by contributing on the successful design of Blast Monkeys, a mobile puzzle-action game that rose to #1 game app on Android in 2011 !
P.S. My first name is really "Seven". I designed and legally changed it because thats just how deeply I care about making things perfect 🤘
