Product design engineer

Helping teams ship the right product.

I partner with product managers, designers, and engineers to figure out what users need, shape the workflow, and ship it as an accessible product.

Current role: design system engineer

On a design system used by roughly 3,500 engineers and designers, I automated Storybook setup, saving more than 10 hours per component, and Figma Code Connect mapping, so nobody translates components by hand.

Where I can help.

As a product design engineer, I work across the product decision, the design, and the code that ships it. The case studies show which parts I owned.

The button is usually the easy part.

Product decisions you can trace

I map the workflow before designing screens, then check the result after launch. At IVFCRYO, a shared readiness check cut support calls by 75%. The case study shows the alternatives I weighed and why I chose one.

Interfaces built the way they were designed

I build what I design, including the loading, error, and recovery states that mockups leave open. In Logatot, speech the app can’t understand becomes a quick fix for the provider instead of a wrong record.

Systems that save teams repeated work

In my current role, that means automating Storybook and Figma setup so teams spend their time on features. That work isn’t public, so Rudiment UI shows the same approach: accessible components, tokens, and documented APIs you can inspect.
