A little about me

The Engineer

For six years, I was working as a full-stack engineer. I built features, shipped code, and learned firsthand what a product can and can't do once it leaves a design file. What I didn't know yet: I was already paying more attention to how things felt to use than an engineer usually needs to.

When I'm not coding or designing, I'm storytelling on YouTube, where three years of making content taught me that the best stories come from understanding how they make people feel.

Where I have worked

UX Designer @ SRED.io Software Inc.

Sep 2026 - Present · Toronto, ON

  • Led the redesign of a secure file-exchange feature, project mapping, and timesheet workflows. Proposed persistent context indicators and confirmable controls to reduce confusion.
  • Led design reviews with senior stakeholders, advocating for user-centered decisions across product, engineering, and data science.
  • Reviewed implementations in the test environment and fixed styling, layout, and component behavior directly in Angular, bringing the product closer to design intent without adding engineering workload.
