Bollydle

Personal Project Web App

Reverse-engineered, designed, and developed a fully functional web application from inception to deployment, showcasing end-to-end product development expertise
Problem: A Wordle-inspired daily puzzle, Heardle, allowed people to guess hit songs given only portions of the beginning. However, Bollywood music, loved by billions around the world, was never incorporated in the puzzle and was later shut down after being acquired by Spotify.
Solution: Provide a daily puzzle billions of people around the world could play, and meeting the demand for such a product.
Process:
- Utilizing the Product Lifecycle and my product skills, I began to learn about the market and the problem through primary source interviews and secondary source research
- Researching the necessary enablers, I was able to begin solutioning ideas on how to best address the problem at hand and begin wireframing concepts
- Following a user-centric approach, I refined my ideas and developed the web app
- Testing began through a soft launch where I spread the word to a few hundred people and began receiving feedback (Daily Active Users averaged around 60-100)
- Continuous improvement on both the front end, adding features and changes that would engage users, as well as the back end, working on deeper analytics and error handling
- Prioritizing specific features and developing short and long term roadmaps allowed for me to focus on what made the most sense for the user and meet goals
Learning Outcome: Product Management lifecycle from ideation to launch and execution, web development, customer analytics, market research, competitive benchmarking
Future Work: Planning to begin wider marketing to drive additional growth, explore monetization strategies to mitigate expenses while maintaining a positive user experience and product integrity

Coat Buddy

IBE Freshman Engineering and Entrepreneurial Capstone

Objective: In a 4 member, interdisciplinary team, innovate a solution to help someone with Arthritis using the Business Model Canvas
Solution: A gas spring operated device that helps people with shoulder arthritis put coats on with minimal or no shoulder pain.
Design Process: After identifying a problem, researching current alternatives, and talking to potential end users, we identified a major need for a device that aids in putting on a coat or jacket. Using feedback from interviews and research, multiple design concepts were drawn, and a final design was selected using a matrix to put the concepts against the needs and value propositions. Using the final design, the team worked on creating a mockup using materials already available. After testing with the mockup and further end user input, the team created a full scale prototype, complete with the gas spring.
Learning Outcome: Business Model Canvas, interdisciplinary team collaboration, design process principles, product proposal writing.
Future Work: Currently in the Intellectual Property (IP) process with OSU, potential to be sold to actual end users and businesses that end users frequent.
