Developer productivity: DevQuest, Eng Hub and Quarterly Planning

I reframed DevQuest from gamified speed to review confidence, and the stakeholder goal grew from completion time alone to completion time plus PR quality.

Shared audio

I reframed shared audio from a minimum-scope question into a findability problem. Research moved the plan from one entry point to six, and the Quick Settings tile we recommended is how people start sharing in Windows 11.

I defined the battery state model behind Windows 11's redesigned battery icon and taskbar percentage, which cut average misreading from 8.5 points to under 2 in a 48-person study.

I designed the Content Credentials experience for Microsoft's video player and provenance checking site, quiet when media checks out and interrupting only when it's broken. In an 8-person study it helped people trust real media more and doctored media less.

Clear, not easier: teaching developers a video AI platform

With our researcher, I defined a "clear, not easier" direction for the Azure Video Analyzer portal from a nine-session study with five developers, which turned a stalled naming debate with the API owners into a concrete stakeholder choice.

I set an operator-first direction for the Azure Media Services portal and carried it into Azure Video Analyzer, turning Live Events into a supported portal workflow; support satisfaction passed its 4.7 goal in August 2020.
