I started my career as a software engineer, which gave me a strong foundation in how systems are built. Over time, I moved into product design because I was more interested in how people interact with those systems and make decisions within them.

Over the past eight years, I’ve worked across both consumer and enterprise products. At Rebel Foods, I designed ordering and post-purchase experiences for a platform used by over five million users, focusing on making transaction flows clear and predictable. At Cyber Dive, I led design for operational tools where users had to interpret system signals and act quickly, so a lot of my work was about making complex system behavior understandable.

What I’ve consistently found is that most problems aren’t just about UI — they’re about helping users understand what’s happening in the system and what to do next. That’s where I focus: designing interaction models and workflows that make complexity feel manageable.

More recently, I’ve been exploring AI-assisted systems, especially how users interact with outputs and how to make those interactions more transparent and trustworthy. That’s what drew me to Delphi, the idea of designing how people interact with knowledge and thinking itself.
