Product and UX designer focused on cloud infrastructure, AI pipelines, and user-centered 0→1 experiences.
What I'm looking for
I am a product and UX designer with 7+ years designing consumer and enterprise systems, specializing in cloud infrastructure and AI pipeline experiences. I have a strong track record of delivering 0→1 products that balance user needs, business goals, and technical feasibility.
At Google and Microsoft I owned end-to-end UX for cloud and education products, led launches that improved CSAT and drove high-performance storage solutions, and contributed to patented features and large-scale classroom tools. I blend research, prototyping, and cross-functional collaboration to move ambiguous problems toward clear, delightful outcomes.
I mentor and speak on design topics, enjoy translating infrastructure complexity into usable interfaces, and seek roles where I can shape product strategy, influence technical direction, and deliver measurable user and business impact.
