Senior UX Lead

Hey there. I'm a UX Lead with 11+ years in the messy end of product design: enterprise dashboards, lending flows, analytics tools, the systems most people find intimidating. I like taking something dense and complicated and making it feel obvious. I sit right between design, data, and engineering, which is usually where the interesting problems hide.

I've done this for first-time founders and for some of the bigger names in banking and enterprise software. I stay in the file doing the actual pixels, not just the slides, and I care as much about whether a thing ships as whether it looks good. Right now I'm after a senior product or UX role, in India, the Middle East, or fully remote.
