Over my 11 years in product design, I've specialized in transforming complex technical processes into seamless user experiences across DevEx and AI domains through strategic research and vision design. In my current role at Docker, I lead research into developer productivity that has influenced executive roadmaps across multiple product pillars while designing and enabling agentic experiences for developers.
Previously at Amazon, my research and design efforts culminated in a Product-led growth North star strategy that secured leadership funding. Through strategic UX initiatives and self-serve onboarding experiments, I achieved a 10% increase in conversion rates while designing seamless experiences across AWS console, CLI, and SAM CLI interfaces.
Outside of work, I'm passionate about outdoor activities and competitive pickleball. I also love experimenting in the kitchen, creating fusion dishes that blend different cuisines and flavors.

Docker Inc
Staff Product Designer, DevEx and Agents
At Docker, I was a Staff Product Designer owning the developer experience across Docker Desktop. I shipped an AI-powered network visualization tool, rebuilt the enterprise sign-in flow (55% increase in active sign-ins), and reimagined the platform’s entire information architecture — a structure that now guides platform-wide development.
On the AI side, I used Claude Code to build a Docker TUI prototype connected to Docker Engine APIs and Gordon AI. Started as a side project. Ended up on the official roadmap.
Ingram Micro
Sr. Principal Product Designer
At Ingram Micro, I established the UX research and design process from the ground up, building an iterative feedback loop between design and engineering that improved both development efficiency and product quality. I also led cross-functional strategy workshops that aligned design, product, and development teams around a shared direction.
Amazon Web Services
Sr. UX Designer, Serverless
At Amazon, I led UX strategy for AWS developer tools, driving a 10% conversion rate increase through small scale experiments and self serve onboarding design. I designed Lambda Function URLs end to end across Console and CLI, launched simultaneously across global regions, making it the fastest adopted Lambda feature ever with over 4,500 accounts and 6,700 function URLs created in the first week. I also secured leadership funding for a product led growth north star strategy through customer research and stakeholder alignment.
GE Healthcare
UX Design Lead, AI
At GE Healthcare, I designed AI powered interfaces for radiologists detecting critical conditions like Pneumothorax in Enterprise Imaging products. I worked directly with data science and machine learning teams to improve supervised learning model accuracy by translating complex AI behaviors into actionable UX recommendations and establishing continuous user feedback loops. I also led radiologist research to map user journeys and uncover edge cases that informed both the product experience and algorithm development.
Arity
Sr. UX Designer, Automotive
At Arity, I designed in car experiences that secured partnerships with Toyota and Ford, showcased at CES 2018. I transformed complex driving behavior analytics into accessible dashboards for both novice and expert users, and delivered B2B and B2B2C products working across design, product, data science, and engineering teams.
IBM
UX Designer, Watson AI
At IBM, I developed a virtual reality proof of concept for 3D data visualization presented directly to the IBM CEO, delivered interactive predictive analytics experiences through agile development, and ran internal A/B testing to continuously refine the design.
