What I'm looking for

I'm looking to design enterprise SaaS and AI products where I can own work from discovery to production, improve complex workflows, and build trustworthy human-in-the-loop AI experiences.

At CogniCor Technologies, I design an AI advisor copilot platform used daily by approximately 1,000 financial advisors across six enterprise accounts. I’ve owned five production modules end-to-end, spanning meeting intelligence, AI insights, analytics, advisor communication, and mobile experiences.

I turn advisor research, personas, journey maps, and usability evaluations into clearer information architecture and prioritized workflows. My work contributed to improvements measured at 700+ advisor hours saved in a 28-day PlanCorp client study, while introducing override controls that keep people in control of AI-generated actions.

I also shipped AdvisorCopilot for Outlook independently from product strategy and client presentation through design and full-stack build using Claude Code. I focus on agentic workflows, explainable AI responses, streaming and fallback states, reusable design systems, and enterprise interaction patterns that make AI practical in regulated work.
