ALAN LU

As a Senior Product Designer and UX Lead, I specialize in architecting interfaces for data-heavy SaaS platforms and frontier AI tools. My design philosophy centers on demystifying complex technical workflows, ensuring users feel in control of advanced machine learning systems without being overwhelmed by the underlying algorithms.

Throughout my career, I have driven the UX/UI architecture for products where trust, transparency, and data density are paramount. Recently, I led the end-to-end design for a complex AI-driven advertising tool at BQool. I developed transparent "Campaign Blueprints" that allowed users to confidently manage automated ad spend algorithms by setting clear visual guardrails. I also designed the product roadmap and user experience for Scriptoplay, transforming sophisticated AI scriptwriting and video generation pipelines into a highly accessible, professional-grade creative platform. In both environments, I established robust, WCAG-compliant design systems from the ground up, utilizing Figma variables and nested auto-layout to ensure flawless scalability.

What sets my design approach apart is my technical foundation. As a proficient full-stack developer, I construct design systems as if they were codebases. My deliverables go beyond static mockups; I provide interactive, state-driven prototypes and technical specifications that map one-to-one with front-end constraints like Tailwind CSS and React component hierarchies. This hybrid expertise completely eliminates the traditional design-to-engineering gap, drastically reducing integration time. Additionally, my hands-on experience extends into AI evaluation and harness engineering, where I actively refine and score model-generated code and outputs for functional correctness.
