For four years, I served as Production Manager for Syfy’s website, working with the design director, lead producer, and IT team to oversee production processes and ensure smooth execution. As a liaison between production and IT, I improved communication, streamlined workflows, and boosted team efficiency. I also created detailed production processes and coding standards, strengthening collaboration between editorial and production teams.
