That database did not stay trapped inside administrative back-offices; it became reusable infrastructure for this public web resource. The public application transforms raw operational data into an intuitive family resource: active program cards, interactive rules, equipment specifications, bilingual English and Spanish access, and game-day safety checklists. The primary product enhancement is frictionless routing: clicking any facility card opens Google Maps with turnkey navigation already calculated directly to the recreation center. ### Key Operations Telemetry * **Database Records:** 1,700+ (Citywide operational records feeding parent-facing search). * **Active Clinic Sites:** 15 (Recreation center coordinates pre-wired with Google Maps transit). * **Bilingual Accessibility:** EN / ES (State-stored language preference across all guidance and checklists). * **Zero Extra Spend:** $0 (Static React application deployed with lightning-fast edge delivery). --- ## Shipped Deliverables & Operating Infrastructure ### 1. Relational Database to Parent-Facing Program Card * **Artifact:** Side-by-side architecture connecting backend Airtable schemas to React interface cards. * **Role:** Westwood Recreation Center geocoded records surfaced directly as interactive program cards displaying facility hours, age brackets, and field logistics. ### 2. Pre-Loaded Google Maps Turn-by-Turn Navigation * **Artifact:** Deep-linked routing integration via Google Maps API. * **Role:** Directly calculates turn-by-turn routes to recreation centers from user coordinates, saving busy parents manual address input during game-day transit. ### 3. Parent Onboarding & Seasonal Expectations * **Artifact:** Digital onboarding guide and expectations walkthrough. * **Role:** Orientation covering practice schedules, player safety protocols, coaching contacts, and venue rules to build community trust before kickoff. ### 4. Bilingual English & Spanish Accessibility * **Artifact:** Localized equipment specifications and uniform guidelines. * **Role:** Persistent client-side language state ensuring full access and equipment transparency for Spanish-speaking families. ### 5.

When data is re-entered by hand, information drifts, addresses become stale, and user trust dissolves. By connecting the PlayLA public web app directly to our relational operational schema, we eliminated manual synchronization and gave thousands of families instant access to directions, game schedules, and bilingual guidance. In enterprise systems, this principle is universal: user experiences are only as dependable as the data architecture beneath them. --- ## Certified Digital Expertise & The Discipline to Scale * Salesforce Certified Administrator * Salesforce Certified Business Analyst * Radical Product Thinking Vision Setting * Google AI Professional Certificate * Google AI for Data Analysis * Project Management Institute Member * Product Management Basics Certification * AI for Product Management I bring an Olympic athletic background to fuel the relentless discipline required to execute, a deep research background focused on hyper-targeted strategy, and the grit of the immigrant experience.
