The clearer description is digital ergonomics. I make complex tools fit the people using them, instead of the other way around.

I do my best work on hard problems at scale, for teams that are ambitious and move fast. Government platforms, developer tools, mission-critical systems. I work closely with engineers, and lately I've been building myself with the help of AI tools. This portfolio is an example.

UX is always at a crossroads.

A designer needs to understand everything about those crossroads. I hold both sides at once:

Who is this serving and why are they here?

What are they experiencing right now?

What device are they on? Are they in a rush?

Do they need to leave and come back?

Are they anxious, confused, under pressure?

Sole designer on a developer-first observability platform used by teams at LinkedIn, Vercel, and 1Password. Focused on simplifying complex alerting workflows. The role was restructured. A short engagement but a formative one.

A positive, ambitious culture that keeps me intellectually entertained.

That's the short version. Teams that move fast, treat design as a problem-solving function, and don't do blame. I want to keep learning: AI tools, building applications, growing through whatever this industry turns into next.
