Historical product context: identity and access workflows delivered through customer-facing tools and connected hardware.

Multiple systems. One usable experience.

A showing or access event depends on several questions agreeing: who the visitor is, whether they are authorized, where they are, and what must be documented. Agents, brokers, administrators, and customers still need a simple way to complete the task.

My role was to translate that complexity into product strategy, workflow architecture, requirements, acceptance criteria, release priorities, and implementation plans in partnership with the CTO and engineering teams.
