Featured Projects
Lead Product Designer · MinIO · 2024–2025
AIStor Console
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
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.
UX Designer · Front-End Developer · 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%.
Lead Product 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.
Leader.
Designer.
Engineer.
A Technical Design Leader with 20+ years bridging design and development. I bring engineering fluency to build products, and the design sensibility to make them matter.
My career spans consumer automotive and mobile apps, AI-native storage infrastructure, Kubernetes developer tools, and roadside assistance platforms. My work is grounded in research and measured by outcomes. I care as much about how design functions across an org as about what ships.
