Focus areas

The problems I'm built for

Every project below sits inside one of these four.

  • Design

    UX/UI Design

    End-to-end interface design: research, flows and a design system your engineers can actually build from, not just admire.

  • AI

    AI Product Development

    From prototyping a net-new AI feature to wiring one into your product's real data and auth: Claude, OpenAI, and everything in between.

  • Data

    Workflow & Data Viz

    Turning operational noise into dashboards people actually check: the kind that changes a decision, not just decorates a report.

  • SaaS

    B2B SaaS Platforms

    Multi-tenant, permissioned, enterprise-ready: designed and built for the team using it eight hours a day, not a demo audience.

How I work

The stack I bring into your sprint

Same tools your team already runs on; I don’t ask anyone to change how they work.

  • Research

    Maze

    Usability testing and user research, so design decisions rest on how people actually use the product.

  • Research

    Dovetail

    Research repository for interview notes and recordings, turning raw feedback into themes and evidence.

  • AI

    Claude

    Pairs with me on copy, spec reviews and the front-end code behind projects like this site.

  • AI

    OpenAI

    Prompt design work, including contract evaluation for OpenAI itself via Mercor.

  • Delivery

    Jira

    Backlog, sprints and story points: tickets your developers can pick up without asking questions.

  • Collaboration

    Slack

    Async updates and quick huddles, so decisions don’t sit and wait for the next standup.
