At Getmyboat and Boatsetter, I focused on improving renter discovery, conversion, pricing clarity, experimentation cadence, and decision speed across high-intent marketplace flows, after a complete refactor of the managment tools for hosts and admins.
Experiments shipped per quarter across pricing, checkout, search, and renter flows.
Built AI-assisted analytics dashboard that reduced action time from 3d to 1h.
Search ranking and match quality
Reframed search around renter intent, behavioral signals, and supply constraints to improve relevance and marketplace match quality.
- Problem: renters needed more clarity on quality and availability and trust signals .
- Lever: ranking, supply signals, location context, and behavior data.
- Result: improved inventory distribution and 10% increase rate of first hour responses.
Pricing, checkout, and booking flow
Led rapid experiments across high-intent moments where friction directly affected booking completion and marketplace liquidity.
- Problem: users were dropping across inquiry, checkout, and price evaluation.
- Lever: funnel tests, pricing clarity, behavioral analytics, and UX iteration.
- Result: +30% YoY booking conversion impact.
Analytics and experimentation cadence
Built reporting and analysis workflows that gave product, and leadership a live actionable dashboard.
- Problem: insight cycles slowed prioritization and test follow-up.
- Lever: Snowflake, GA4, reporting automation, and reusable product narratives.
- Result: insight turnaround improved from 3 days to under 1 hour.
