Managing and leading UX for AWS’s Database organizations, shaping the vision and design strategy across eight services including RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, DMS, and the next-generation Aurora DSQL service. My team defines how millions of developers interact with data in the cloud globally — building toward a Generative-AI-first experience that simplifies database management at scale.

Under my leadership, we launched two major services:

• Aurora DSQL – a new flagship database praised at AWS re:Invent 2024

• Oracle Databases @ AWS – a collaboration announced at Oracle CloudWorld 2024

We've also delivered over 150 features annually, many of which featured in main stage keynotes at AWS re:Invent.

I've grown a 14-person design team and contributed to the hiring of many other teams across AWS CX. I partner with Principal Engineers, PMs, and VPs to align design direction with technical and business strategy. I’m leading the early definition of a Generative AI design vision for AWS Databases — exploring how intelligent guidance and automation can transform customer workflows.

I’ve conducted 100+ design and leadership interviews across Amazon and was recently nominated to join the Amazon Design Bar Raisers, a core group of ~55 global Amazonian designers responsible for maintaining the high hiring bar for all of Amazon design. I also established a unified agile UX practice in Databases UX, a mechanism now being emulated across our broader CX organization, embedding AI-supported tools to improve velocity, consistency, and design quality.

My mission: scaling design leadership that turns complexity into clarity — and shaping the future of database experiences through human-centered, AI-informed design.

Built the company’s first design system, unifying a previously disparate product suite into a cohesive “One Qventus” experience.

Partnered closely with product and engineering to implement the system and communicate changes across teams.

Redesigned the mobile application UI to align with the new design system and support future product growth.

Designed core components for the primary inpatient application used for rounding and patient prioritization.

Designed AI interaction models supporting visual intelligence experiences across the platform.

Led concept design for multiple exploratory products to gauge customer interest and spark conversations around new operational interventions.

Collaborated with data analysts and behavioral scientists to rethink core intervention strategies and tactics.

Planned and conducted on-site and remote user research with hospitalists and nurse managers across multiple healthcare clients.
