What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own end-to-end UX for enterprise SaaS—building scalable UX systems and AI-assisted, data-heavy workflows—while partnering closely with PMs and engineers to improve usability, accessibility, and decision-making.

I’m a Senior UX / Product Designer with 8+ years of experience designing scalable enterprise SaaS, AI-assisted, and data-intensive products. I own end-to-end UX for complex workflows—turning technical and business requirements into intuitive, user-centered experiences—especially in networking and observability domains.

I focus on usability, accessibility, scalability, and design consistency, from discovery and journey mapping to wireframing, prototyping, validation, and developer handoff. I also lead AI-driven UX work such as smart filters, contextual insights, anomaly surfacing, and guided investigation flows, supported by qualitative and quantitative research and continuous feedback loops.
