“I worked with Shaun at LivePerson in 2022-23 as a TPM on a cross-org program focusing on system-level redesign of all LivePerson business-critical services and infrastructure. This program was the largest R&D investment that the company made during that time frame: over 350 SDEs, 30+ teams and 300+ services. I was truly impressed with Shaun's ability to manage, guide and influence a wide spectrum of stakeholders involved in this complex program. He introduced a transparent, meaningful process of progress review, individual project status assessment and decision making within challenging resource and time constrains. His authority and decision making was accepted by the teams not because of Shaun's position, but because they made sense being practical, achievable and useful. Shaun is an executive of an exceptional quality and potential. Honestly, I envy those who will work with him in the future.”

Automatic Voice Recognition on Alexa
When people in your household speak to Alexa, Alexa learns to recognize their voices automatically. This allows Alexa to personalize experiences. For example, when you say "Alexa, play music," if Alexa recognizes your voice, Alexa will play personalized music from Amazon Music based on your music request history.

Fruit Attacks Mobile Launch
Fruit Attacks launched with a rating of 4.5 stars. We earned a "Best New Games" feature from Apple, and later earned a "Best of July" feature from Apple as well.

TERA Launch on Steam
We worked on a holistic strategy to amplify the launch of TERA on Steam via curation of Steam page content, performance marketing campaigns, and branding/awareness tactics. Since launching on Steam on May 5, 2015, TERA has seen explosive growth, with new and returning players pushing the total number of accounts to over 5 million in North America and 20 million worldwide. TERA is now the most-played MMORPG on Steam.

ZMR Website Launch
-
The brand site for ZMR was implemented using RefineryCMS (Ruby on Rails) to drive our content management initiatives. Learning from some of the challenges with the TERA site, we simplified many elements of our implementation and created a web style guide and template system to allow rapid design, development, and deployment for future games.

Web-based Gifting System
-
We added a gifting system for one of our published games without the need for the developer to provide new features within the game. We created a virtual product that a player could purchase on our website that the player could gift to others or use themselves. Upon use, the system would choose a random gift from a predetermined list of virtual items with associated drop rates and award that to the user in game using a system we had in place to give promotional items to players.

En Masse Store
-
En Masse migrated from Digital River to fatfoogoo for our TERA-related storefront due to requiring virtual currency support. My team was responsible for integrating with the FFG platform to allow users to purchase virtual currency, activate subscriptions, and purchase virtual items via a web interface.

TERA Leaderboards
-
We designed and developed a series of leaderboards via which users could see the top 100 performers in TERA's instances, guild battles, and political system. This required authoring a new ETL transformation to extract data from our data warehouse (which is populated from game server data). The leaderboards were also integrated into En Masse's single sign-on system to allow for showing a logged-in user's rank regardless of whether or not they were in the top 100.

TERA Website Relaunch
-
The brand site for TERA was migrated from Drupal (PHP) to RefineryCMS (Ruby on Rails). RefineryCMS allows us to add specific modules we need on a per-project basis. In addition, the nature of the open source project is such that we can enhance and fix existing modules to the benefit of the community. In addition, it allows us to add new modules for major functionality that we need for our specific sites.
