Enabling Improved Efficiency & Accountability For Large Fleets


Background

Mission Control was a web-based telematics application that allowed for GPS, maintenance, and efficiency tracking for large-scale fleets (10k+ vehicles). I took responsibility for the app early in its development and oversaw its launch and continued feature growth.

Of all the projects that I was involved with at Derive Systems, Mission Control was the application for which I had the most input and influence.

I created the framework for a basic design system that expedited collaboration and development with Intellias—an extraordinarily talented development team based in Kyiv. At times I even served as a defacto product manager while our product team was short staffed and roadmap decisions and approvals needed to be made.
