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

I am a full stack UX’er that can code. I’m good at what I do. AI makes me better.

I’ve fully embraced the paradigm shift generative AI has created. Vibe designing and coding is here. This is awesome for software development. What used to take teams months, now takes a few weeks. AI can push PIXELS faster than I can. AI can CODE better than I can too. This lets me focus on crafting the best experience. Rapid prototyping and real-world feedback in a matter of minutes. HUMANS designing for HUMANS, machines doing the work when it makes the sense. 

This is the way companies will design and develop in the not too distant future.

I’m PERFECTING this craft. You WANT people like me on your team.
