AI & Data Platform · led research & design, now in internal preview

Enterprise data teams run on a patchwork of partial tools: storage, integration, governance, cataloging, and AI come from separate products that rarely talk to each other. I led the research and design for a single platform where any role, engineer to executive, can work across the whole data journey on one auditable view of how things connect.

About

Design moves the world.

I'm a design engineer: I take global products from 0 to implementation, with a focus on usability, systems thinking, and the teamwork that makes it all possible.

I work AI-native: I've built my own AI tooling and ranked in the top 1% of Claude Code and Cursor users on internal leaderboards at both Datadog and InterSystems. My work spans clients like BBVA, the World Bank, and the Inter-American Development Bank, as well as products used by >48% of the Fortune 500. I've founded and grown design and research teams of 7 to 14, and care most about building the environments where they thrive.
