I design complex products for technical audiences — and I do it best when the stakes are high and the problem is genuinely hard.
For several years I led UX for a nationally critical platform processing 85% of US immigration and asylum cases. 20,000+ daily users. 30+ development teams. Continuous deployment. I didn't just design there — I rebuilt how design and engineering worked together from scratch, earning trust in an organisation where UX had almost none, and turning that trust into systems and outcomes that lasted.
Then I made a deliberate change.
I left Washington DC, moved to Spain, and took a contract at Checkly — a developer monitoring tool built for teams shipping to production daily. It was my first deep exposure to a purely technical user base and a product culture defined by speed and innovation. Humbling and clarifying in equal measure.
It taught me something important: designing well for developers requires genuine domain fluency, not just UX craft. I've been building that fluency deliberately since — and it's now central to how I approach every new technical product.
What I'm looking for
Senior roles at remote-first companies building technical products — developer tools, infrastructure, technical B2B SaaS. I work best where the team moves fast, the problem is unsolved, and design is treated as a strategic function, not a delivery service.
I'm based in Spain on a Digital Nomad Visa, working with companies outside Spain. European timezone — practical overlap for both US and European teams.
