Featured Projects
Lead Product Designer · MinIO · 2024–2025
AIStor Console V1
Led a team of 4 designers in building an enterprise storage console from scratch as MinIO shifted from open source to enterprise. Established the design system, defined the product vision, and shipped a complete V1.
Lead Product Designer · MinIO · 2025–2026
AIStor Console V2
Rebuilt the storage console from the ground up, pioneering a Figma ↔ code workflow where engineers prototyped directly with Claude and refinements flowed back into Figma via MCP. Cut design drift 90% and tripled ideation speed.
Lead Product Designer · MinIO · 2025
Website Design System
Built a 100+ component design system and redesigned the MinIO website from scratch. AI workflow workshops enabled non-designers to ship pages independently, removing design as a bottleneck.
Staff UX Engineer/Designer · HONK · 2021
Accident Scene Photo App
Research into 7 root causes turned a failing insurance photo tool into a viable product. A redesigned camera flow with smart post-capture feedback took acceptance from 14% to 96%.
Senior UX Designer · Ambassador Labs · 2023
Telepresence IDE Plugin
Moved a CLI-only Kubernetes developer tool into native VSCode and IntelliJ plugins, eliminating terminal context-switching. Close engineering collaboration produced a zero-terminal path for common intercept operations.

From Prompt to Platform
Finding a Dungeon Master willing to commit to a long campaign is the real bottleneck in playing D&D. This is an attempt to solve it, not with a chatbot, but by building a full game engine: persistent state, spatial combat, multiplayer coordination, and the kind of shared experience you normally get when playing with friends.
Product Design Leader.
Creative Engineer.
A Product Design Leader with 20+ years of practice building products that succeed, not just ship. I've been coding alongside my design work since long before AI made that possible for anyone else, and that depth is what lets me push a first AI draft into something actually ready to ship.
My career spans nine industries, from telephony and web hosting in the early 2000s to AI-native infrastructure and developer tools today. What actually makes a product succeed is the same thing it's always been: the ability to design and iterate it into something people want.
