Melissa Mata โ Product Manager
Had I known what engineers and architects were, growing up, I would be one of those today. As luck would have it, I ended up being engineer and architect...adjacent. Hi, I'm Melissa. I build internal tools leaders trust and staff donโt hate, by learning their workflows, filtering the noise, and driving outcomes without politics. I have approached my career with curiosity from the start. "What will I discover in this new role/project that I will both enjoy and be good at?" Here are a few things that meet both criteria so far. ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ: To me, leadership is simple. Identify opportunities and take action. Be there for the team, but empower and trust them to do what's best. ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐: A natural fit for me. I get to conceptualize and bring to life my vision for a product that solves a big problem. A kid in a candy store? Nay, a Millennial at Starbucks! For selected projects and metrics, see: noto.li/tE0F5r ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ต: My relationship with software engineering is like those couples who don't speak each other's languages but still make it work. I can read through JavaScript or SQL or Apex code and understand what it is saying. In fact, I write SQL queries every day after a friendly architect gave me a quick walk-through. I will neither confirm nor deny that Google is involved at least some of time. Hey, it gets done. ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐บ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐: I have a knack for seeing problems that exist now and those that will come later, so I am super fun at parties! Apparently, I never outgrew the stage where kids ask "why?" all day long. "Why do we do this?" "And why like this?" Again, super fun at parties. Call me. ๐ง๐; ๐๐ฅ: I design internal software that solves real pain points and staff actually want to use, but I use words instead of computer code. I develop and empower talent, and create fun and productive teams people want to join and stay in. I like Starbucks and I'm fun at parties (one of those is a lie). If any of this intrigues you, please reach out.
