Strategic product design for impact across AI-integrated tools, personalized experiences, and scalable design systems.
From AI-powered job recommendations to career discovery tools, I design products that deliver measurable impact.
Transforming job discovery through AI-driven personalization and intelligent recommendations.
How might we better match candidates with the right jobs — and prove it moves the business?
I combine craft, systems thinking, and experimentation to design products that deliver real results.
That stand up fast and deliver immediate value to users and business
That actually help users accomplish their goals with explainable outcomes
That convert by understanding user context and delivering relevant content
That scale with product growth and enable teams to ship consistently

Building and learning through side projects like Speasy
I've led GenAI feature design from assumption mapping through to testing and visual integration — always focused on explainability and trust.
I tie design to job details, apply starts, retention, and segment-based engagement — with tools like Datadog, Amplitude, and custom dashboards.
I work with devs deeply — and in my side projects, I've built with Next.js, Tailwind, OpenAI, Supabase, and ElevenLabs.
Yes. I thrive in cross-functional trios and can plug in from discovery to launch.
Figma, Framer, Cursor, Supabase, Next.js, GPT — and a healthy dose of Post-it notes.
Absolutely. From rough flows to live data-fed UIs — I believe in learning through making.
