# Peter Black > Creative Technologist | Product Designer | UX developer Location: Dallas, Texas, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/peterblack I’m a full-stack product designer and developer with over 15 years of experience building digital products across web, mobile, and emerging platforms. My work spans UX and UI design, frontend development, and backend architecture — and I enjoy being hands-on across the entire stack. I’m highly proficient with modern frontend frameworks like React and Angular, and I’ve shipped mobile apps using Ionic, Capacitor, and native iOS with Swift. I’ve also worked on visionOS projects for Apple Vision Pro, exploring new interaction models and immersive experiences. On the backend, I work with Node and serverless environments to support fast, scalable development. I’m passionate about cryptography, digital identity, and the future of user agency online. Recently, my focus has been on agent-based systems — blending conversational AI with dynamic, interactive interfaces. Motion and animation play a big role in how I design and build. I use them to guide attention, communicate state, and create smoother, more intuitive interactions. From subtle transitions to detailed micro-behaviors, I see motion as a functional part of the user experience — not just decoration. Much of my experience is rooted in the startup world, where I’ve built products and platforms from the ground up. I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments where ideas move quickly and builders wear multiple hats. Creating something from nothing — and making it feel great to use — is where I do my best work. ## Work Experience ### Product Designer @ Aragorn AI Jan 2025 – Present | Dallas, Texas, United States ### Co-Founder - Product Design - Full Stack Dev @ AceMind Jan 2023 – Present | Dallas, Texas, United States AceMind is a Daily Fantasy Sports tool that helps users generate lineups for DraftKings and FanDuel contests.
