Role-based workflows replaced Excel. Entry to leadership.The schema-first MVP forced all analysts into the same Excel export loop. The redesign built three distinct workflows: entry analysts process inputs and outputs, senior analysts validate outputs and assumptions, leadership reviews key metric summaries. Each tailored for maximum efficiency with AI-assisted calculations in-platform.

Most AI products wait for a prompt. The ones I design notice what's happening and move first.

Approach
Research, strategy, user flows, and information architecture first, built as documentation in the repo with AI. Then design in code, with Cursor and Claude Code in the loop. Prototype, ship, validate, iterate on data. Figma stays in the toolkit when collaboration or design-system work needs it. Real user research stays in the toolkit when the problem needs direct insight. The point is the full loop: discovery to production to validation, all in one place.

Twelve years on complex B2B SaaS. Senior UX through Director. Research, strategy, information architecture, and systems design across every role. Most recent year: Lead UX at Carlyle on a confidential AI investment platform for analysts and senior execs, the work that got them out of Excel and into the platform. Now a designer-developer working on agent UX, conversational interfaces, and the design systems that make complex platforms legible. I run discovery, test with users, ship production code, and iterate on data. Embedded with engineering, or solo when speed matters. North Smithfield, RI. Remote-only, Senior / Staff / Lead IC.
Lives in North Smithfield, RI with my wife and two kids. Coach my son's basketball team. Play Magic: The Gathering, read Marvel Comics, still draw by hand.
