I was brought onto the U.S. Army team in 2019 to redesign the website…and then redesign it again a few years later. In the between years, I helped create two experiences on the site to help prospects learn about careers in the Army and what it takes to join. Since then, we’ve created armyciviliancareers.com, a site survey, a winter sports (Olympics) experience page, an AI tool, and so. Much. More.
