My objective is to make sure myself and the team meets timelines through improving processes and technologies, is engaged in the work, that stakeholders know what is feasible, and how ours and other groups' work will affect the end users of our sites.

I use analytics tools to analyze and improve the user experience as well as improve site performance..
