Working in an agile environment with business analysts and developers creating desktop solutions for the business. Working end-to-end on projects from gathering requirements, sketching wireframes, creating mock-ups and prototypes, and implementing xaml code in the dev solution before testing and releasing to users.

I lead a project based in Paris. Full design of the futures and swaps trading platform application, linked into global platforms, performed requirements gathering through conception, interviewing users and mapping user journeys, then sketched wireframes before crafting final detailed designs.
I would then work with the development team during the implementation phase, coding custom XAML into the WPF application to apply the visual style.

It was a hugely successful project with 100 traders using it, in Paris alone, on the launch date.
I then continued to add new features and on-board additional users globally.
