What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, where I can lead innovative design projects and contribute to impactful user experiences.

Hi, I am Mohammad 👋 A strategic Lead Product Designer with a decade of experience specializing in B2B2C SaaS platforms, design systems, multi-lingual products and complex user workflows.

I led end-to-end design & ideation of the first AI-powered digital banking agent 'Koda Bank' in 2020 (pre-ChatGPT / generative AI boom), including breakthrough concepts such as:
→ Conversational AI (LLM-based customer onboarding)
→ LLM AI Chat (the first digital bank concept built around AI chat prompting)
→ AI-Powered Insights (automated analysis and real-time notification system)
