About
From writing code to designing the systems around it.
I started my career as a Software Engineer, building and maintaining production systems. That experience gave me a grounded understanding of how software actually gets built, and it's also where I discovered what I care about most: solving problems for the people using the product, not just the system running underneath it.
That interest pulled me into front-end development, then fully into UX and product design, where I've spent most of the last decade. My engineering background means I design with technical feasibility in mind from the start, and it makes me a more effective partner to the developers I work alongside, since conversations about scope, data, and edge cases happen in the same language.
Today I focus on enterprise SaaS products: complex workflows, multiple user roles, and real business constraints. I work closely with engineering and stakeholders in agile teams, and I'm as invested in the design system holding together as I am in any single screen.
