What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a Lead or principal level design role. To work alongside a strong team inside challenging and engaging environment.

At Hypergiant, I’m the sole designer driving most of the major UI for EXBAR, a missile defense platform operators use to manage crowded airspace under tight bandwidth constraints. I designed operator-defined layers and elevated lists to help teams organize targets and share relevant tracks, and separated the Common Operating Picture from data-dense dashboards so operators can work across multiple monitors.

I also joined and later led the team behind Hypergiant’s CORE design system, introducing Figma branching and weekly releases to support concurrent projects. Earlier, I led end-to-end design for Proteus, an Air Force offensive cyber C2 platform, and designed digital experiences across healthcare, finance, logistics, and other industries.
