During my time at NYRR, project timelines were driven by the strict deadlines of scheduled events. For both the TCS New York City Marathon and the United NYC Half Marathon, we partnered with TCS to build a mobile experience for event participants and spectators on iOS and Android. While TCS served as the external developer, I provided coordination and project management across additional external vendors for design and course tracking, and across several cross functional teams at NYRR. I worked with the team that continues to deliver this experience year after year, and I know they carry forward the management processes and features I championed while leading the app projects.
The marathon mobile app was nominated for and won a Webby award for best innovation in fitness tracking. The app also regularly appears within the top downloads of the Sports category in the App Store.Â
