* Understanding the competitive landscape of content providers similar to ProductPlay for e-commerce retailers.
* Designed ProductPlay’s core products including algorithms for automated video aggregation, curation tools to manually judge and monitor videos, and dashboards for retailers. 
* Worked cross-functionally with Retailer's engineering, marketing and legal teams to integrate our technology.
