What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a Principal or Staff Product Designer role where I can lead computational design and AI-driven systems, rapidly prototype frontier tools, and turn complex enterprise challenges into validated, measurable outcomes.

At The Home Depot, I lead AI strategy and rapid prototyping for a human-in-the-loop assortment forecasting platform serving 2,000+ stores, 8M+ SKUs, and $150B+ in annual sales. I reduced product-bundle onboarding from 53 days to 2 minutes, unlocking $750MM in annual profit, and cut prototype validation cycles from four months to one week.

I work as a design-engineer hybrid across computational design, platform UX, AI orchestration, research, and accessibility. From consolidating 12 SKU tools into one platform to building real-time disaster-planning dashboards, I use Figma, SQL, BigQuery, Tableau, Python, and agentic workflows to move ambitious systems from concept to evidence-backed testing quickly.
