Experience
2025 — Now
Exploring the frontier of agentic and generative AI product design, creating tools and workflows that help developers and builders harness emerging technologies with human-centered design. My focus is on turning LLMs into reliable agents by improving observability, trust, and usability.
Selected Contributions
• Natural Language Policy Design: Designed and built a policy system for network security management where MSPs create firewall rules in plain English and AI interprets intent into structured policies. Directed frontend development using AI-assisted development.
• AI Agent Orchestration: Designed the agent selection and step-by-step execution model for an SRE infrastructure platform. Design decisions drove architectural changes, shifting from autonomous AI loops to human-guided execution.
• LLM Vulnerability Testing: Designed experimental interfaces for model robustness and toxicity testing, enabling AI teams to stress-test LLMs quickly through lean prototypes.
• Agentic Observability: Designed and prototyped an "Agentic Wireshark", an AI observability tool that blends network analysis, activity mapping, and interaction tracing to help developers debug, optimize, and trust agent systems.
• AI Safety & Experimentation: Partnered with nbhd.ai to explore novel agentic use cases, balancing rigor in AI safety with playfulness in experimentation, thriving in ambiguity and rapid iteration.
Highlights
• Supported pre-seed and seed startups, collaborating directly with founders and engineers to bring 0→1 AI-native products to life.
• Blended product strategy, design systems, and LLM experimentation to accelerate early-stage development cycles.
• Focused on agentic UX, developer tooling, and design for trust in complex, data-rich environments.

• The product felt outdated, with clunky navigation and inconsistent design. I led the effort to introduce standardized components and cohesive interaction patterns, creating a sleek, modern experience. The refined look enhanced usability, reduced eye strain, and earned great feedback from internal sales teams and customers alike.
• I built an identity management module from concept to launch, transforming it into a powerful security tool. By incorporating intuitive data visualizations, end-user discovery, detailed permissions analysis, and real-time identity threat detection, I empowered customers to swiftly identify risks, correct over-permissioning, and strengthen their SaaS security posture.

As Senior Principal Designer, I led UX, research, and design strategy—building a cross-functional design system and translating complex security workflows into intuitive experiences. I streamlined onboarding, policy creation, and dashboards, improving usability and accelerating time-to-value.
• Designed and implemented a 3-step, self-service onboarding process to reduce user friction and improve time-to-value.
• Simplified policy creation workflows with in-app guidance, enabling self-sufficient users within 48 hours.
• Revamped dashboard UX with actionable insights and data visualizations, improving decision-making.
• Led creation of Elisity’s first design system to unify brand and interface, boosting usability and consistency.
Key Achievements:
• Reduced onboarding time from hours to minutes.
• Increased product adoption and customer satisfaction.
• Strengthened cross-functional collaboration across teams.
• Scaled design consistency across engineering and marketing.

• Elisity’s cluttered, non-actionable dashboard overwhelmed users with abstract data and no clear direction. I crafted an actionable insights platform with an intuitive design that transformed raw information into dynamic visuals, allowing users to quickly identify vulnerabilities and make real-time decisions to secure their environments, track trends, and optimize policies effortlessly. Within months, user satisfaction soared, and the dashboard became an essential tool for strategic decision-making.
• Elisity’s product lacked a design system, leading to a fragmented user experience and inconsistent brand representation. I led the redesign, collaborating with experts to establish a cohesive brand identity and modern interface. The result was improved usability, brand consistency, and enhanced user satisfaction.
