About myself

Profile

I’ve been captivated by the intersection of technology and human experience since I first discovered the “View Source” feature in my browser. That curiosity has taken me on a journey from front-end development to UX design, naturally progressing toward the part of the work I always cared about most: the user’s experience.

I bridge the gap between users, product, and development, bringing a user perspective into conversations that would otherwise stay technical or functional. In practice, that means:

  • I translate between three parties who don’t naturally speak the same language;
  • I reframe feature requests around the actual user need they are meant to solve;
  • I understand how things get built, allowing me to propose designs that can be built.

Building a solution that truly helps people gives great satisfaction. But the path to the right solution starts with fully understanding the real problem that needs solving.
