I'm a Design Engineer. I design products and build them in production code, and I design for the moment the AI gets it wrong, because that is what decides whether people trust it. Most of my work has been senior and end to end, from research and design through to the front-end that ships. I partner with founders and teams who need that range without carrying a full-time hire.

Competencies

Design with AI

Figma and Claude Code daily, plus the current best of a fast-moving AI toolset
Prompt to direction

Development

React, TypeScript, Next.js, Astro, JavaScript, Python, Flask, Node, Postgres, Docker, Tailwind
Prototype to production

Platforms

Salesforce (LWC), Azure, Contentful (headless CMS), LLM pipelines (OpenRouter, structured output, evals)
Built for trust
AI writes most code, but blind trust breaks products. I direct it: design the product, set architecture, define boundaries, write tests, and verify every step. The result is a solid prototype, built from shared design tokens and components, that serves as the source of truth for user testing and shipping.

Work with me

If you are building something where the AI has to be right, or has to fail safely, that is what I do. I take on contract, fractional, and founding-team work, fully remote with US and global teams, no relocation needed. You are reading this on a site I designed and built. If it fits what you are building, start a conversation.
