Amazon Studios Technology

Onboarding Platform for Amazon Prime Originals

Project Brief

From July 2021 to February 2022, I served as a Front-End Developer and Lead UX Designer at Amazon Studios Technology, spearheading the creation of a custom onboarding platform for production teams working on Amazon Prime Originals. The platform was developed to streamline onboarding workflows, providing centralized access to critical resources for key production members.

Key responsibilities included designing and implementing the platform using Ghost CMS, a tool I quickly adapted to despite limited prior experience. The website served as a hub for production teams, offering:

  • Training materials tailored to Amazon Prime Originals Productions’ needs.
  • Production checklists to ensure consistency and efficiency.
  • A pre-production meeting scheduler for seamless coordination.
 

This project was executed amidst significant challenges, including the rapid expansion of the Studios Technology Department, tight resource constraints, and a short-staffed team due to the leave of the main UX Designer. I took ownership of the project, leveraging my CMS development expertise and proactive problem-solving skills to ensure timely delivery by the original January 2022 deadline.

The platform successfully launched in early 2022, simplifying onboarding for production teams and facilitating a more efficient start-to-finish process for Amazon Prime Originals productions.

Utilizing my skills in UX design and full-stack development, I constructed a website using Ghost CMS. This platform served as a central hub for Amazon Prime Originals, enabling end-users to access training materials, production checklists, schedule pre-production meetings, and seek assistance through the Zen Desk ticketing system. Despite challenges such as rapid growth within the Studios Technology Department and limited resources, I successfully led the project to completion by the original deadline of January 2022.

Taking charge of the project when the main UX Designer went on leave, I leveraged my prior CMS development experience to navigate unfamiliar territory with Ghost CMS. Despite being short-staffed, I ensured the timely delivery of the platform, facilitating a smooth soft launch.
