As validation of idea happen with acquisition of users and "customers", product may undergo transformation on required features set and Market needs. I make the roadmap to achieve those "vanity goals" for our company, and I try to successfully tweak an approach with changing needs. - Architecture Practices: Our environment changes very fast. I need to make sure that best practices are defined and followed by our team. I must be a garbage guy and clean the code time to time. Making reviews on Code Quality. - Methodology: With time, help build progressive learning culture and establish predictable model of envisioning, designing and developing our product. - Connecting Business Requirements with activity: Given that, I must be an executive Tech leader, I understand the business opportunities which Tech Product could create. - Should be able to empathize with my "audience" and bring Insights to build a pragmatic approach– which, translates into better cost-benefit analysis. - Product Innovation through Research and continuous improvement
