Hi, I’m a senior UI/UX Product Designer with 20+ years of professional tenure and a proven track record of delivering for world-class corporate standards. I bridge design and engineering by delivering technical blueprints that are production-ready and optimized for Web Vitals and WCAG accessibility. I leverage an AI-native workflow (Gemini, Claude Code, VS Code) to deliver MVPs and precise solutions, accelerating the path from concept to production-ready code. My experience spans SaaS dashboards, logistics, fintech, and AI-powered products, focusing on scalable interfaces, rigorous usability testing, and cross-functional collaboration to translate business requirements into intuitive experiences.
