Quantity takeoff software
June 2022 to August 2026 · Technical Product Manager
- Inherited an ageing product carrying enough defect and breakage load that incremental fixing had stopped working. Triaged the backlog, scoped it into versioned releases, sequenced them, and shipped a full rebuild in twelve months with new capability alongside rather than a like-for-like port.
- Used by construction professionals for digital measurement and quantity lists that feed directly into what a job gets quoted at.
- The rebuild decision was the interesting one: a like-for-like port would have been faster and safer, and I argued against it, because the legacy data model was the thing generating the defects. Porting it forward would have bought a year and then handed the same problem back.
