About

UX Engineer building product systems from flows to production-ready architecture

With 5+ years leading UX and product work, I design and implement systems across product, design systems, and engineering. Focused on structure, clarity, and production-ready execution.

Open to remote UX/UI, Product Designer, and UX Engineering roles

What I bring

I design and implement product systems where UX decisions translate directly into build.

My work connects user flows, system logic, and interface consistency across the entire product.

AWS re/Start strengthened the technical foundation of this approach through API logic, cloud fundamentals, and AI-assisted product workflows.
