> Product Designer & Product Manager | Building Human-Centered Software for Energy, IoT, and Emerging Tech

Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/conradfederspiel

I'm a product designer and manager who takes software from ideation to launch, and continuously improves it through research, iteration, and measurable outcomes.

With experience across product management, user experience design, and cross-functional leadership, I build tools that balance user needs, business objectives, and technical feasibility. My work spans energy tech, IoT, and AI-powered applications, where thoughtful design and execution translate directly into measurable business value.

For NextEra Energy, I’ve led design for internal platforms that achieved 10X increases in adoption, replaced legacy systems, and unlocked millions of dollars in value. My background in both product definition and user-centered design allows me to move fluidly between strategy, research, design, and delivery.

I believe great products come from tight collaboration between product, design, and engineering - anchored in data, empathy, and clear vision.
