Software engineer building customer-facing AI-native products through user research and prototyping.
What I'm looking for
I’m a software engineer with 2+ years of experience building customer-facing software, and I bring strong product thinking into every release. I’m hands-on with AI and consumer product work, using user research, experimentation, and rapid prototyping to reduce risk and drive what users actually need.
In my recent work, I owned product discovery for AI & Robotics learning experiences by synthesizing insights from 1,000+ students, 30+ educators, parents, and school leaders across 15 schools. I identified learning gaps, validated curriculum improvements before rollout, and designed 20+ 0→1 STEM learning modules through rapid prototyping and 100+ classroom pilots.
I also led curriculum enhancements by balancing user needs, educational outcomes, and classroom feasibility, enabling scalable delivery across 100+ workshops. To keep quality high after launch, I established continuous feedback loops with educators and stakeholders, analyzing qualitative insights to improve usability, engagement, and learning outcomes.
Across AI and consumer products, I’ve executed end-to-end initiatives—from MVP definition and feature prioritization to prototyping and experimentation—grounded in validated user problems. I’ve worked on projects like an AI copilot for transforming ideas into product documentation, AI workflow recommendation prototypes, WhatsApp privacy onboarding redesigns, and SQL/BI-driven personalization experimentation frameworks.
