David Rooks
@davidrooks
AI-powered UI/UX Engineer blending cyberpunk design and prompt-driven interfaces.
What I'm looking for
I’m an AI-Powered UI/UX Engineer and Creative Technologist focused on building immersive, branded cyberpunk UI systems. I integrate AI into UX pipelines for rapid prototyping while maintaining precision, narrative, and emotional resonance.
Since 2021, I’ve worked as a Freelance AI & UI/UX Specialist (remote), building full UI systems in Figma with AI assistance. I developed a branded terminal OS environment (GraveProtocol), executed rebrands with pixel-perfect QA, and delivered high-priority assets in 24–48 hr cycles.
My approach combines advanced prompt engineering, AI behavior testing, and loop recovery with strong design language creation. I also bring hands-on technical discipline—from ANSI/ASCII terminal rendering to Android UI (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose)—supported by a background in precision QA from R&D Plastics and high-intensity accuracy-critical operations at UPS.
