What I'm looking for

I seek remote roles on cross-functional teams where I can lead user-centered product design, improve usability and performance, and collaborate closely with engineering for scalable impact.

I am a results-driven Product Designer and Front-End Developer with experience leading end-to-end design projects, building responsive interfaces, and improving system performance through close design-development collaboration. I have delivered scalable web and mobile products across fintech, e-commerce, logistics, and gaming domains, driving measurable improvements such as a 40% system performance gain and 23% faster response times.

I thrive in remote, cross-functional teams, managing research, prototyping, usability testing, and production-ready handoffs while maintaining design consistency and accessibility. I also contribute as a frontend developer, translating UI/UX into maintainable code with Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS, and mentoring peers to improve delivery and code-review efficiency.
