Profile: https://flows.cv/alexshirazi

I am a product and UX designer focused on building interfaces for complex systems and technical domains.

My work spans long running embedded design engagements, platform products, and founder led companies operating under real world constraints rather than idealized UI environments.

I have worked both inside and alongside large organizations, including extended vendor engagements, as well as as a founder in technical domains such as biotechnology.

I am especially interested in products where clarity, systems thinking, and the responsible use of emerging technologies matter more than surface level polish.
