Owned the Carnival app end-to-end, including defining PRDs, north-star and guardrail metrics, and running 2-week sprints with design, engineering, and QA to ship incremental MVP releases.
Built the analytics foundation: created an event taxonomy, KPI tree (DAU/WAU, activation, retention, funnel drop-offs), and dashboards to prioritize product improvements and evaluate post-launch performance.
Drove retention lift via notifications by designing segmentation, behavioral triggers, and frequency caps, resulting in Day-1 retention +10% and Day-7 +5%.
Led cost optimization by redesigning reward and operational levers (payout rules, frequency, edge-case handling), reducing in-game costs by 75% while keeping DAU impact <25%.
Designed and analyzed A/B tests across notification timing, deposit UX, and lobby sort with pre-defined hypotheses and rollout/rollback criteria.
Collaborated with Marketing for GTM campaigns, co-creating 5+ product videos, scripts, and in-app placements to support launch and attribution-ready campaigns.
