Hire the one who
designs it and
ships it.

Where I'm pointed next

Early AI teams building where the Bay moves fastest — and they need someone to design and ship the first version.

I run remote from Durham by default. For a team worth betting on, a plane ticket west isn't a dealbreaker.

— The pitch / 01I'm a UX Engineer at Google Meet who refuses to split the journey from the build. I design the experience, then write the code that ships it — which means an early team gets a whole product function in a single hire. Looking for the next 0 → 1 to obsess over.

Why me

design × engineering · one seat
01

One hire, two disciplines

I don't hand off. I design the flow, then write the production code that makes it real — React, TypeScript, the whole surface. You get a designer and a frontend engineer in one seat, with none of the translation loss in between.

02

0 → 1 velocity

Eleven products shipped — founder bets, live tools, experiments. I go from a rough idea to something real and in front of users fast, and I make the calls that keep it shippable instead of perfect-forever.

03

Craft that holds at scale

Three years on Google Meet shaping UI/UX used by millions, plus a +60% UI-performance lift at Cars24. I sweat the interaction details and the milliseconds — because both are what users actually feel.

04

A founder's instinct

I've built and run my own products, so I think in outcomes, not tickets. I'll question the spec, own the ambiguity, and care about the thing like it's mine — which, on a small team, is exactly the point.
