Proofs-of-concept to production

People came to me with ideas for the product, such as drag-and-drop, resizable objects on a slide and a Canva-style design experience. Before putting money into building, they needed to know how far an idea can go, how complex it is and how long it would take.

For each idea I built a proof of concept and presented it, with what's possible, the complexity and the time to implement. If they liked it, we moved ahead with the real implementation. If not, it went to the backlog, and the team ranked it by priority. I did several of these. The Outlook plugin started as one: I showed the design and the idea, they approved it, and then I built the real thing. The Canva-style drag-and-drop proof of concept was shown but dropped.

None. A proof of concept is itself the confirmation that comes before anyone commits money.

Worked on multiple proofs of concept to evaluate potential product features and technical approaches.

Developed POCs for client evaluation, incorporated feedback and approval, and contributed to converting approved concepts into functionality used within the actual product.

Skills Demonstrated: Proof of Concept Development · Technical Evaluation · Client Collaboration · Product Development · Solution Implementation

A proof of concept takes time even when the idea is dropped later.

Approved proofs of concept became real features, including the Outlook plugin. The rest waited in the backlog by priority.
