Product design leader for finance, expert systems, and emerging AI products.
I turn complex domains into coherent product systems, combining UX strategy, design systems, product architecture, and AI-assisted development to modernize mature platforms and shape new software from the ground up.
At EquiLend, I’m helping shape a unified securities finance platform across trading, post-trade, data, and books-and-records workflows. That work is about bringing coherence to mature financial systems: shared patterns, clearer workflows, reusable design foundations, and product experiences that can survive real enterprise delivery.
I also work on emerging AI research platforms, where the challenge is different: originating new products, defining new workflows, and building functional first-generation software systems where the product category itself is still taking shape.
