At Microsoft I partner with PM/Eng/UXR to ship end‑to‑end experiences for frontline scenarios, balancing data, constraints, and craft. I prototype relentlessly (vibe coding in Framer/HTML when needed), build design systems/tokens, and use telemetry + research to iterate with intent.
Previous work includes Amazon, Katerra, Kerf Design. I care about accessibility, durable patterns, and product momentum, from first sketch to release.Focus areas: agentic UX (Copilot/LLMs), explainability & oversight, optimization workflows, and operations tools that save real time for real people.
What motivies me: Building products that make operations run smoother, help teams trust automation, and give people back time for the work only humans can do.
What I bring: clarity in ambiguity, collaborative energy, a bias to prototype, and a pragmatic roadmap from vision → validation → shipped
Some Kind Words ─
You take ownership of your areas, and look beyond what is written down in the spec. You understand our domain, and our users. You look to make things better, not just good enough. You're willing to engage with the developers directly, and iterate through issues as they arise — adapting your designs to the realities as things are built. You keep up‑to‑date on broader design guidance across Microsoft, and bring that knowledge back to the team to help us keep moving in the right direction.
