Profile: https://flows.cv/slavafilimonov

I design interfaces for systems that operate in the real world.

Over the past few years, I’ve worked at the intersection of hardware, software, and control logic — shipping Human–Machine Interfaces for autonomous kitchen robots deployed in 300+ commercial locations, designing smart-home IoT applications, and building multiplatform products at consumer scale.

My focus is complex, state-driven environments:
• real-time dashboards
• fault states and recovery flows
• automation and device orchestration
• hardware–software interaction models

With a background in physics, I’m comfortable thinking in systems — understanding constraints, modeling behavior, and working closely with robotics, firmware, and backend engineers. I translate APIs, edge cases, and operational logic into clear, testable, production-ready interfaces.

Previously, I’ve led product initiatives across streaming and creator platforms reaching tens of millions of users, where I worked on cross-platform UX, discovery systems, and design system architecture.

I’m particularly interested in:
• Robotics & automation
• Smart and connected devices
• Embedded and edge systems
• Complex product ecosystems

If you’re building products where interface decisions affect real-world operations — I’d love to connect.
