More than five years across SaaS, enterprise and developer platforms, now working remotely with teams worldwide.

More about me
  1. 01

    Systems thinking from engineering.

    I map people, data and constraints before changing a screen.

  2. 02

    Built with engineering.

    Designed inside real technical constraints, alongside engineering and QA.

  3. 03

    Research and data in the loop.

    Interviews, usability tests and analytics decide what changes.

  4. 04

    Fluent in product and business.

    Product management and marketing roles keep adoption in view.
