Shaped how customers onboard, create resources, monitor systems, and govern AI agents across Redpanda Cloud and the Agentic Data Plane (ADP), owning the research, product design, and frontend implementation behind those experiences. Established research-led design process, mentored engineers in UI prototyping, and co-led company-wide UI infrastructure.

• Redesigned the Redpanda Connect frontend around a progressive pipeline setup flow and IDE interface that led to ~% growth in monthly pipeline creation and x self-serve revenue.
  • Integrated in-app documentation, debugging features, real-time validation and logging, making failure diagnoses faster and actionable.
  • Synthesized + feedback signals and user interviews, identified and drove remediation of backend requirements across teams, and iterated on the UI across validation rounds.
• Shipped three iterations of onboarding for free trial and enterprise customers over six months, making it easy for users to quickly connect their data to Redpanda; the -day trial-to-paid conversion rate more than doubled (x).
  • Redesigned the product dashboard to improve product discoverability, make resource health scannable, errors actionable, and tailor network security cues to customer systems.
• Piloted a repeatable PRD-to-frontend workflow for the ADP, pairing iterative AI-assisted prototyping with UXR. Improved generated code quality, made Redpanda's design principles, UI library, and frontend conventions the source of truth for prototypes and generated code, replacing one-off UI with reusable components and established patterns. Backend engineers adopted the workflow for subsequent features.
• Co-led UI infrastructure strategy and adoption across the company. Rebuilt the design system, UI registry, and distribution tooling, then guided migrations that achieved % UI registry adoption across core products in weeks, improving visual coherence and behavioral consistency. Established a contribution workflow that enabled more than a dozen contributors across teams and disciplines to extend the shared UI libraries.

Owned design and development of core platform features for a YC-backed startup that empowers creatives to build no-code collaboration tools.

• Led product strategy, design, and development for a multiplayer whiteboard app and digital asset manager—showcased as tools users could build on the platform.
• Built cross-platform UIs for real-time multiplayer editing and agentic document manipulation that can be dropped into any platform or user-built tool.
• Improved application performance by 40% through migration from CSS-in-JS to TailwindCSS and established visual regression testing to maintain UI consistency.

Owned frontend architecture of a server-rendered and mobile-optimized Next.js app for a content creator marketplace and supporting media management platform.

Led the Coinbase Design System's Tooling team. Developed automation-first strategies and tooling to boost developer productivity, empower cross-functional collaboration, and drive design system adoption.

• Acted as tech lead for a cross-org initiative driving visual parity across Coinbase products. Drove key product decisions, worked directly with design and engineering leadership, and managed an external AI vendor relationship.
  • Built a tool that catalogs and visually maps UI components to their Figma counterparts, enabling designers to resolve discrepancies and realign code to design standards.
• Architected an i18n Figma plugin that parses copy in design files and generates contextual metadata for translators, improving fidelity of translations and saving frontend engineers ~1 hour per design file.
• Orchestrated Coinbase's largest-ever design system tech debt reduction, reducing total library bundle size by 12% and node_modules size by 1.8% through strategic elimination of 10% of the codebase.
  • Planned and led migration of 31 consumer repositories with zero incidents, coordinating transitive dependencies across seven React Native mobile and React web applications.
  • Authored an AST parser that automated 95% of migrations.
  • Managed two ICs and served as primary liaison between QA, design, product, and engineering.
• Built over 27 components for the Coinbase Design System in React and React Native, resulting in 17% library expansion.
  • Crafted server-rendered compatible responsive layout components and utilities, reducing TTFP by 50% for high-impact user journeys.
• Pioneered an internal open-source contribution model empowering product engineers to upstream components into the design system. Introduced automated tooling and processes to safely manage breaking changes, enabling teams to execute critical updates without incidents.
• Constructed a zero-to-one marketing website for the base.org launch in two weeks.
• Co-created Coinbase's Frontend Bootcamp curriculum, making new IC onboarding completely self-serve.

• Engineered and designed an open-sourced developer analytics tool with Next.js and D3 data visualizations. Architected an SSR-friendly UI library.
• Led engineering for an internal admin tool that powered the Find & Price medical care product serving over 35M users. Collaborated and iterated with Product and an external design partner on UX decisions.
• Co-led the internal React community and presented bi-weekly talks on best practices to foster continuous innovation.
• Core member of a cross-product strike team that established best practices for migrating from Angular 1 to React.

• Designed and developed a design system for a $5M DevOps startup. Led design and engineering modernization for multiple microservices, improving UI/UX and engineering efficiency across web applications and a Chrome extension.
