SUMMARY
22 years designing complex products. The kind where you cannot fake domain understanding. I have shipped
products from scratch, rebuilt legacy platforms, led teams, and ran my own agency for 5 years.
My focus has always been on technically dense products: heavy workflows, non-trivial users, real constraints. Last
4 years at Scalr, an enterprise SaaS for DevOps teams: built design system from scratch, owned it for 4 years,
designed features end-to-end working daily with engineers.
I also build. Shipped an ADHD time tracker as a solo project in Cursor: design, logic, working desktop app.
Designers who close the loop think differently about what they are designing.
