Summary
Product Designer with 4+ years of end-to-end ownership across complex web and mobile platforms spanning fintech, logistics, e-commerce, and healthtech — now working as a design engineer: designing products and building them with AI-native engineering. Specialises in design systems, scalable interaction design, and product strategy, and increasingly in closing the gap between design intent and shipped code. Most recently designed, engineered, and launched GradPath (Next.js, TypeScript, Prisma/Supabase) single-handedly — from database schema to deployment. Combines deep product thinking with AI-assisted development to take products from strategy to production.
