Co-led an intrapreneur effort to develop a gamification platform and corporate ideation game called “Make It Happen” to promote a culture of innovation across the company. The basic premise of the game is for emlpoyees to pitch interesting and novel ideas within the company that could result in good business outcomes if implemeneted. Other players could rate and review the ideas and invest "backer bucks" if they are particularly interested. Angel investors would also use the game to identify good ideas that had bubbled up from the community and ultimately have the ability to fund the idea in real life. An acquired idea would also provide a return on investment to the original idea author and all idea backers. The game leveraged various gamification techniques such as leaderboards, player types, levels, and achievements. The gamification engine and game won over several company backers and project sponsors and was highlighted several times in various forums around the company.

Designed and developed an internal configuration driven real-time web reporting platform that can assemble data from many different data sources (e.g. REST, SOAP, SQL, Files, etc.) and display interactive real-time dashboards. The project is unique in that it was achitected so that new data sources and real-time dashboards could be created using a simple UI. This means that every aspect of the application is a generic component that is purely configuration driven. The platform was used to create operations dashboards used to enabled real-time management and on-time delivery of 2 separate multibillion-dollar company divestitures. It was also adopted by thousands of global users, senior management, and the CIO and led to receiving a 2017 CIO IT Excellence Award
